Ingredients:

• 4-5 pound beef chuck roast
• 2 cups BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
2. Prepare the Roast: In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, ground cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Rub this spice mixture all over the beef roast, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
3. Sear the Beef: In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef roast and sear on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. This step locks in the juices and adds a beautiful crust to the meat.
4. Add the Aromatics: Once the roast is seared, add the sliced onions and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 2 minutes, just until fragrant.
5. BBQ Sauce and Broth: Pour the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 cup of BBQ sauce over the roast. Stir gently to combine the liquids with the onions and garlic.
6. Slow Roast: Cover the pot with a lid or tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Slow roast the beef for 4-5 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and falling apart.
7. Finish with BBQ Sauce: Once the beef is cooked, remove the lid and pour the remaining 1 cup of BBQ sauce over the roast. Increase the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and roast, uncovered, for an additional 30 minutes. This step allows the BBQ sauce to caramelize and intensify in flavor.
8. Rest and Serve: Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing or shredding. Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side and your favorite accompaniments.
