ingredients
- 3 pound beef chuck roast
- 12 ounces beer
- 1 bbq sauce
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 white onion
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 dried peppers (ancho or chiptole)
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°.
Step 2
Generously season the beef chuck roast with salt and ground black pepper.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear each side of the seasoned chuck roast for 3-4 minutes, or a total of 6-8 minutes.
Step 4
A a small mixing bowl, stir together the beer, bbq sauce, and tomato paste. Pour over the seared chuck roast. There should be enough liquid to cover 3/4 of the chuck roast, which is what we want.
Step 5
Quarter or slice the onion – which ever you prefer – and it to the dutch oven along with the garlic, bay leaf, and dried peppers. Push these ingredients along the sides of the chuck roast and into the liquid.
Step 6
Cover the dutch oven and transfer it to the oven. Cook for 3 hours and 20 minutes at 350°.
Step 7
Allow the dutch oven and chuck roast to cool slightly before shredding. Once it’s cooled, using tongs and a fork, shred the beef apart and thoroughly mix into the braising liquid. It should coat the beef nicely.
