Ingredients

Scale

3–4 lbs beef chuck roast
2 medium sweet onions, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup low-sodium beef broth
1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
4 soft sandwich rolls or brioche buns
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cumin
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Trim excess fat from the beef chuck roast and season it generously with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat a little oil and sear the roast until browned on all sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
Remove the beef and add sliced onions and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until onions are translucent (about 5 minutes).
Place the seared roast back into a slow cooker; pour in beef broth and top with BBQ sauce. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
Once cooked, shred the beef using two forks until tender.
Assemble sandwiches by piling shredded beef onto buns and adding extra BBQ sauce if desired.
