Description
A delicious and tender pulled beef recipe that is perfect for sandwiches and packed with flavor.
Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 8 hamburger buns
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F.
- In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, and thyme. Sear the roast in the hot oil until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Remove the roast from the Dutch oven and set aside. Pour in the beef broth, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar, stirring to combine.
- Return the roast to the pot, cover with a lid, and transfer to the preheated oven. Roast for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
- Once cooked, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. Shred the beef using two forks, mixing it with the juices in the pot.
- Serve the pulled beef on hamburger buns, topped with additional barbecue sauce if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
- To make it a complete meal, serve with coleslaw on the side or add it directly to the pulled beef sandwiches for extra crunch.
