Description
A delicious pulled beef sandwich that’s slow-cooked to perfection, offering a symphony of savory flavors—perfect for game days and gathering with friends.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 lbs chuck roast
- 1 large sweet onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 6–8 buttered hamburger buns
- Optional toppings: pickles, coleslaw, sliced jalapeños
Instructions
- Trim excess fat from the chuck roast and pat dry. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- In a heavy skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned.
- Transfer beef to a slow cooker. Sauté diced onions and minced garlic in the skillet until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add to the slow cooker.
- Mix barbecue sauce with spices and pour over the beef, ensuring it’s well-coated.
- Slow cook on low for 8 hours or high for about 4 hours until the beef shreds easily.
- Once cooked, use two forks to shred the beef, mix it with the sauce, and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Spoon the beef onto toasted buns and garnish with toppings of your choice.
Notes
For added flavor, always sear the beef before slow cooking. It’s important to toast the buns for better texture.
