Description
Savory Pulled Beef Sandwiches are a flavorful delight made with tender beef chuck roast, cooked slowly in a rich sauce and served on hamburger buns.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 4 hamburger buns
- Coleslaw (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F.
- In a large oven-safe pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Season the beef chuck roast with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Place the roast in the pot with the onions and garlic.
- In a bowl, mix together the beef broth, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Pour this mixture over the beef.
- Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 3 to 4 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- Remove the pot from the oven and let it cool slightly. Shred the beef using two forks, mixing it with the sauce in the pot.
- Toast the hamburger buns if desired. Serve the pulled beef on the buns, topped with coleslaw if you like.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the pot before cooking.
- Try using different barbecue sauces for varied flavors, such as honey mustard or spicy chipotle.
