Ingredients

  • 4 lbs Chuck Roast
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 1 large Sweet Onion (sliced)
  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup Beef Broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Yellow Mustard
  • ¼ cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh Ground Pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt (or to taste)
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Melt butter in large Dutch oven set to low heat and add sliced onions. Slowly caramelize onions until sticky and brown.
  • While onions are caramelizing sear each side of chuck roast in a large skillet set to medium-high heat. Approximately 2 minutes per side, or until a brown crust forms.
  • Deglaze searing skillet with ¼ cup of beef broth and whisk to loosen any burnt on bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • When onions have sufficiently caramelized pour deglazing liquid into Dutch oven along with an additional ¼ cup of beef broth and increase the heat to deglaze Dutch oven, scraping the bottom of the pot to incorporate burnt bits into the liquid.
  • Add remaining beef broth and chuck roast to the Dutch oven along with Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. Sprinkle seasonings over the chuck roast. Add BBQ sauce and cover with a lid.
  • Cover with a lid and place Dutch oven in preheated oven for 3 hours, flipping the roast halfway through cooking.
  • Roast is done when it is easily shredded with a fork.
  • Serve the roast whole or shred and serve as sandwiches on buns.
