 Barbecue Pot Roast

Barbecue Pot Roast is a hearty and flavorful dish that's perfect for a comforting meal. Here's a simple recipe to make a delicious BBQ pot roast:

Ingredients:

• 3-4 pounds beef chuck roast
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup BBQ sauce (use your favorite brand or homemade)
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Optional: fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Roast:

   • Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels.
   • Season generously with salt and pepper.

2. Sear the Roast:

   • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. This step helps to lock in the flavors.
   • Transfer the seared roast to a slow cooker or an oven-safe Dutch oven.

3. Prepare the Sauce:

   • In a bowl, mix together the BBQ sauce, beef broth, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

4. Cook the Pot Roast:

   • Pour the sauce mixture over the roast in the slow cooker or Dutch oven.
   • Add the chopped onion and minced garlic around the roast.
   • If using fresh herbs, place them on top of the roast.

5. Slow Cooker Method:

   • Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the meat is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

6. Oven Method:

   • Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
   • Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and cook in the preheated oven for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

7. Finishing Touches:

   • Once the roast is cooked, remove it from the cooker and let it rest for a few minutes.
   • Shred the meat with two forks, discarding any excess fat.
   • Return the shredded meat to the sauce and stir to combine.

8. Serve:

   • Serve the BBQ pot roast with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, coleslaw, or bread rolls.

Tips:

• Vegetables: You can add vegetables like carrots, potatoes, or bell peppers to the pot for a complete meal.
• Extra Sauce: If you prefer more sauce, double the sauce ingredients and adjust seasoning to taste.
• Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The flavors often improve the next day.
