Ingredients:
- 3 cups ketchup 🍅
- 3/4 cup Dijon mustard 🌿
- 1 cup brown sugar 🍯
- 2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce 🍶
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 🍷
- 1/8 cup liquid smoke flavoring 🔥
- 2 teaspoons salt 🧂
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 🧂
- 10 pounds beef roast (such as chuck or brisket) 🥩
For Serving:
- Sandwich rolls or buns 🍞
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Beef:
- Begin by placing the beef roast into a slow cooker, ensuring it fits comfortably. For the best results, let the beef marinate in the refrigerator overnight if time permits. This extra step enhances the flavor and tenderness of the meat.
-
Make the Barbecue Sauce:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ketchup, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, red wine vinegar, liquid smoke flavoring, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated, creating a robust and flavorful barbecue sauce.
-
Cook the Beef:
- Pour the prepared barbecue sauce mixture over the beef roast in the slow cooker, ensuring the meat is well-coated. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on the LOW setting for 8-9 hours. This slow cooking method will allow the beef to become tender and flavorful as it absorbs the rich barbecue sauce.
-
Refrigerate or Serve:
- After cooking, you can choose to refrigerate the beef and sauce overnight, which makes the final steps easier and allows the flavors to meld even further. If you’re ready to serve, skip the refrigeration step.
-
Shred the Beef:
- Once the beef has finished cooking, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it by pulling it apart with two forks. Mix the shredded beef with about 1 cup of the sauce from the slow cooker to ensure it’s juicy and flavorful.
-
Reheat:
- If you refrigerated the beef and sauce, gently reheat it in the microwave or on the stovetop until warmed through.
-
Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Spoon the warm, shredded beef mixture onto open-face rolls or buns. If you desire an extra burst of flavor, top with additional warm barbecue sauce.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the sandwiches warm, with your favorite side dishes or accompaniments. The rich, tangy flavors of the barbecue beef will make these sandwiches a hit at any meal.
