Pulled Beef Sandwich Barbecue (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Beef and Spices

01 - 1 teaspoon ground cumin
02 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
03 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
04 - 1 teaspoon salt
05 - 3 garlic cloves, chopped
06 - 1 big onion, sliced up
07 - 1.4–1.8 kg chuck roast beef

→ Saucy Mix

08 - 1 tablespoon brown sugar
09 - 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
10 - 120 ml BBQ sauce
11 - 240 ml beef stock

→ Fixings

12 - Coleslaw to pile on, if you want
13 - Onion slices to top, if you like
14 - Pickles for extra zing, if you like
15 - 6–8 bread buns

# Instructions:

01 - Once the beef is all shredded, mix it back into all those savory juices in the pot so every piece soaks it up.
02 - Scoop a big heap of beef onto the bun bottoms. Pile on pickles, onions, or slaw if you’re feeling fancy. Cap it with the top and dive in.
03 - Want crispy buns? Lay them out, cut side up, on a tray and toast in the oven or on the grill until you see a bit of golden color.
04 - Pop a lid on and let it hang out in the slow cooker on low for 8–10 hours, or slide it into an oven at 150°C for 4–5 hours until it falls apart at a poke.
05 - Drop the seasoned beef chunk right on top of the onion and garlic. Pour in BBQ sauce, broth, Worcestershire, and toss brown sugar on top.
06 - Spread your onions and chopped-up garlic on the bottom of your slow cooker or Dutch oven to make a flavor bed.
07 - Give that chuck roast a quick dry-off, then rub in cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper all over.

# Notes:

01 - If you’ve got time, let the pulled beef sit in those juices for 15 minutes before making your sandwiches for a juicier bite.
