How to Make Barbecued Pot Roast

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Pat the roast dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Rub the salt and pepper mixture evenly over all sides of the roast.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Add 1 cup of tomato sauce, 1 cup of water, 1 large onion (chopped), and 4 cloves garlic (minced) to the Dutch oven.
  6. Cover the Dutch oven and simmer for 30 minutes.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon smoked paprika.
  8. Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the roast in the Dutch oven.
  9. Cover and continue to simmer in the oven for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender. Internal temperature should reach 190-200°F (88-93°C).
  10. Remove the roast from the Dutch oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Skim off excess fat from the sauce before serving.
