Ingredients:

• 4 lbs beef chuck roast
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Meat: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels, then season generously with salt and pepper.
2. Sear the Beef: In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.
3. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
4. Combine Sauce Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, beef broth, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and ground cumin.
5. Cook the Roast: Return the beef roast to the pot, then pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the meat. Cover the pot with a lid or foil and place it in the preheated oven. Roast for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and easily shreds.
6. Rest and Shred: Remove the pot from the oven and let the beef rest for about 15 minutes. Shred the beef with two forks, mixing it with the sauce in the pot.
7. Serve: Serve the shredded roast beef barbecue on buns, in tacos, or over rice. Garnish with additional barbecue sauce if desired and enjoy!
