How to Make Barbecue Beef Suzanne

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Place a 3-4 lb beef roast in a roasting pan. Add 1 cup beef broth to the bottom of the pan. Roast for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
  2. While the roast cooks, prepare the sauce: Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 4 cloves minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is melted and the sauce is well combined (about 5 minutes).
  6. Once the roast is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Shred the beef using two forks.
  7. Add the shredded beef to the skillet with the sauce. Stir well to ensure all the beef is coated.
  8. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  9. Serve the Barbecue Beef Suzanne on crusty rolls with potato salad and coleslaw. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
