How to Make Barbecue Pulled Beef
- Completely thaw the beef roast overnight in the refrigerator.
- Trim excess fat from the roast if desired.
- Place the thawed roast in your slow cooker or crock-pot.
- In a large measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together: 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce, 1/2 cup beer (any kind you enjoy), 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
- Cover the roast generously with sliced onions (about 1 large onion, thinly sliced).
- Pour the barbecue sauce mixture evenly over the roast and onions.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 4-6 hours, or on low for 8-10 hours, until the beef is incredibly tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- Carefully remove the roast from the slow cooker and shred the beef using two forks.
- Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker. Add 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid to the shredded beef and mix to create a moist and flavorful texture.
- Coat the shredded beef evenly with the remaining barbecue sauce.
- Serve the delicious pulled beef on hamburger buns, kaiser rolls, or your favorite bread. Alternatively, serve it over creamy mashed potatoes for a hearty meal.
