Ready Time

4 hrs

Yields

8 servings

Ingredients

2 cups (1 pound) smoked chuck roast
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup beef broth

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Place the smoked chuck roast in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot with a tight-fitting lid.

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, smoked paprika, kosher salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano.

Rub the spice mixture all over the chuck roast, making sure to coat it evenly.

Add the beef broth to the pot, covering the roast.

Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Braise the roast for 3 hours, or until it’s tender and falls apart easily.

After 3 hours, remove the pot from the oven and let the roast rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

Notes

For a more intense smoky flavor, use a higher-quality smoked chuck roast or add some liquid smoke to the beef broth. Make sure to brown the roast on all sides before adding the spice mixture for a deeper flavor.

You can also add some sliced onions, carrots, and potatoes to the pot for added flavor and texture.

To make this recipe in a slow cooker, cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours. If you’re short on time, you can cook the roast at 325°F (160°C) for 2 hours, but be careful not to overcook it.

Let the roast rest for a longer time if you prefer a more tender and juicy texture.
