How to Make Barbecue Beef Crock Pot

  1. Pat 3 lbs beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Dredge the beef in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, ensuring it's fully coated.
  3. In your crock pot, combine 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Place the floured beef into the crock pot and gently turn to coat with the sauce.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
  6. Once cooked, remove the beef from the crock pot and shred it using two forks.
  7. Return the shredded beef to the crock pot and mix it thoroughly with the barbecue sauce.
  8. Serve the delicious barbecue beef on your favorite rolls, slider buns, or with your choice of sides. Enjoy!
  9. Garnish with chopped green onions for extra freshness (optional).
