Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Beef

Busy Saturday or any day, just take a few minutes early in the day to get this meal started and walk away. Come dinner time sit down to this juicy pulled beef.

1  1/2 lb boneless blade roast
1 tbsp olive oil
3 onions, sliced thinly
2 garlic cloves, minced
1  1/2 cups beef broth
1 cup BBQ sauce
2 tbsps brown sugar
2 tbsps balsamic vinegar
chili flakes (optional)
Soft buns

Heat oil in a skillet then brown beef on all sides. This step is not necessarily needed but is worth the extra effort to give the finished product a richer flavour.

Combine the remaining ingredients in the crock pot and nestle the browned beef in. Then spoon some sauce over the top.

Cover and cook on the low setting for 6-8 hours. No peeking!

Finally, remove the meat to a plate and pull with two forks, then return the meat to the pot.

Heat through and serve on soft buns.

Serves 4
