Shredded BBQ Roast Beef

This BBQ beef dish has been one of my family’s absolute favorite recipes lately. With the cold weather here this dish is perfect. Easy to make and my house always smells delicious while it’s cooking. I serve this over garlic mashed potatoes but you could easily serve in tacos too. I use a gluten-free maple BBQ sauce but you can use your favorite store-bought or homemade sauce.

INGREDIENTS

• 2-3 pound roast
• 4 Tablespoons olive oil
• pinch of salt
• pinch of pepper
• 28 ounce of barbecue sauce

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Drizzle 1 Tablespoon of the olive oil on the roast. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and rub into the roast. Do this on all sides of the roast.

Heat 2 Tablespoons of oil in a Dutch oven on medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot carefully put the seasoned roast in the pan and sear it for about 2 minutes until browned. Carefully turn the roast over and sear the second side. Using tong hold the roast on the edges and sear all of the edges.

Pour the bottle of BBQ sauce into the pan lifting up the roast so the sauce can get underneath the meat. Put the lid on the Dutch oven and cook for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until cooked through. Let the roast rest and shred using 2 forks.

Enjoy!
