A flavorful and easy-to-make BBQ beef recipe perfect for any occasion.
Cut the beef chuck roast into four equal pieces.
Cutting the roast into smaller pieces helps it cook evenly and absorb more flavor.
Season the beef pieces with freshly ground black pepper.
Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Place the beef pieces into the slow cooker.
Arrange the beef pieces in a single layer for even cooking.
Chop the onion and red bell pepper, then add them to the slow cooker around the beef.
Chopping the vegetables into uniform pieces ensures they cook evenly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and apricot preserves.
Mix the sauce ingredients thoroughly to blend the flavors.
Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables in the slow cooker.
Ensure the sauce covers the beef and vegetables for maximum flavor infusion.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Cooking on low heat allows the beef to become tender and flavorful.
Remove the cooked beef from the slow cooker and slice it thinly.
Use a sharp knife for clean and even slices.
Return the sliced beef to the slow cooker and stir it with the sauce.
Mixing the beef with the sauce ensures every slice is coated with flavor.
Serve the BBQ beef on buns or with your favorite sides.
Pair with coleslaw or pickles for a classic BBQ experience.
