Ingredients for Bbq Beef For Sandwiches

  • Chuck Roast
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • Beef Bouillon Cubes
  • Onion
  • Tomato Sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • Ketchup
  • Mustard
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

How to Make Bbq Beef For Sandwiches

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Place a 3-4 lb beef chuck roast in a large roasting pan. Add 1 cup of beef broth, 2 beef bouillon cubes, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
  2. Roast for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender. Alternatively, place all ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
  3. Remove the roast from the oven/slow cooker and let it rest for 15 minutes. Using two forks, shred the beef, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the shredded beef with 1 cup of your reserved cooking liquid, 1/2 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a slow cooker and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or until heated through and flavors have melded.
  6. Serve on your favorite dinner rolls or slider buns. Garnish with your favorite BBQ toppings (e.g., coleslaw, onion rings).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
