Kitchen Equipment Needed:

1. Slow cooker
2. Tongs or a fork for shredding
3. Cutting board
4. Sharp knife
5. Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients:

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Sandwich buns, for serving
• Optional toppings: sliced cheese, pickles, coleslaw

Directions:

1. Begin by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper, then sear it on all sides in the hot skillet until browned. This step helps to lock in the flavors.
2. Transfer the seared roast to the slow cooker. In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the cooked onions and garlic to the slow cooker, arranging them around the beef roast.
4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, brown sugar, dried thyme, dried oregano, and paprika until well combined. Pour this flavorful mixture over the beef roast in the slow cooker.
5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 8-10 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
6. Once the beef is cooked, use tongs or a fork to shred it directly in the slow cooker, mixing it with the flavorful juices.
7. Serve the shredded beef on sandwich buns, adding your favorite toppings such as sliced cheese, pickles, or coleslaw.
8. Enjoy these Slow Cooker Shredded Beef Sandwiches hot and fresh, savoring every delicious bite!
