Shredded BBQ Beef cooks in the slow cooker all day until it’s falling apart tender! This is an easy recipe that only takes a few minutes to prep. Leave it to cook, and hours later, you’ll have juicy, flavorful BBQ beef you can serve up a few different ways.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3-pound boneless chuck roast
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce

Instructions

  1. Place the beef in the slow cooker. Mix the seasonings and mustard in a small bowl. Coat both sides of the beef with the mixture. 
  2. Cook the roast on low for 8 to 10 hours or until it’s falling apart tender. 
  3. Shred the meat and add the BBQ sauce. Stir to coat the meat evenly and it’s ready to serve.

Notes

I don’t recommend cooking it on high in the slow cooker. It won’t be as tender once it’s done.

Storage: Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days.

Serving: There are quite a few ways to serve it – use it to make sandwiches or wraps, or serve it alongside macaroni and cheese, rice, mashed potatoes, potato salad, or another veggie or side that you like. See the recipe post for ideas and links.
