Very Best Barbecue Beef Sandwiches Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Cook: 8 hours

Yield: 12 Servings

20 480 500

Ingredients

1 boneless beef chuck roast (3 to 4 pounds)
1-1/2 cups ketchup
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
12 kaiser rolls, split
Dill pickle slices, optional

Directions

Cut roast in half. Place in a 5-qt. slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, onion, brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, celery seed, paprika and pepper; pour over roast. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until meat is tender.
Remove meat. Skim fat from cooking juices; transfer to a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; gradually stir into juices. Return to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
When meat is cool enough to handle, shred with two forks. Return to slow cooker and stir in sauce mixture; heat through. Serve on rolls with pickle slices if desired. Yield: 12 servings.

So good...the beef was so tender. The sauce was fabulous.

My friends and I made this over the weekend to feed a small gathering of friends before and after a concert. It not only made "the best" sandwiches but also served as a tasty dip for chips.

Easy to make, delicious to eat! I made it the day before guests arrived and reheated it in the slow cooker a few hours before they arrived. Everyone loved it and asked for the recipe. Definately a keeper!

Reviewed on Jun. 16, 2011 by SewItIs

This was delicious. I did add liquid smoke to the sauce. My roast was just over 3 lb. I did not pour all of the thickened sauce over the shredded beef.
