Servings 6 servings
Calories 504kcal
Equipment
- 6-7 quart slow cooker
Ingredients
- 1 small onion, diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 boneless beef chuck roast (about 2.5 - 3 lbs.)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 ¾ cups barbecue sauce (I use an 18-ounce bottle of Stubbs Original)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons liquid smoke (optional)
- Optional, for serving: sandwich buns, coleslaw, pickles
Instructions
- Spray the liner of a slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Place the onion in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Pat the beef dry. Season on both sides with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Place the beef on top of the onion in the slow cooker.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke (if using).
- Pour the sauce over the beef. Cover and cook until the beef shreds easily with two forks, about 8-10 hours on LOW or 4-5 hours on HIGH.
- In a separate bowl or on a cutting board or rimmed sheet pan, shred the beef with two forks. Return the meat to slow cooker and stir it into the sauce.
- Serve the meat on sandwich buns and garnish with coleslaw or sliced pickles, if desired.
Notes
Cooking just for two? This cooked barbecue freezes really well, so stash away any leftovers in airtight containers and save for later meals.
