Description
This ultimate pulled beef sandwich features slow-cooked, tender shredded beef simmered in a savory broth and BBQ sauce, piled high on a toasted bun—comfort food at its finest for any casual gathering.
Ingredients
3–4 lb beef roast (chuck or brisket)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce or apple cider vinegar (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Buns or rolls for serving
Optional toppings: cheese, coleslaw, pickles
Instructions
- Season the beef roast with salt and pepper.
- In a hot skillet or slow cooker with sauté mode, sear the beef on all sides until browned.
- Transfer the beef to the slow cooker.
- Add beef broth, BBQ sauce, and Worcestershire sauce or vinegar.
- Cook on low for 8–10 hours or on high for 5–6 hours, until beef shreds easily.
- Remove the beef, shred with forks, and return to juices in the slow cooker to keep moist.
- Serve on toasted buns with desired toppings like cheese, coleslaw, or pickles.
Notes
- Searing the beef first boosts flavor but is optional.
- Chuck roast is ideal for shredding due to its marbling.
- Use gluten-free BBQ sauce if needed for dietary restrictions.
- Leftover beef can be used in tacos, burritos, sliders, or nachos.
- Reheat with a splash of broth to keep the beef moist.
