Coleslaw (optional)

6-8 burger buns

Onion slices (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Season your beef with salt, cumin, paprika, and black pepper. Make sure it’s coated everywhere using your hands or a spoon.
02 -
Lay the onion slices and garlic into your slow cooker or Dutch oven. Place the spiced-up beef on top for maximum flavor.
03 -
Pour in your Worcestershire sauce, stock, BBQ sauce, and sprinkle the brown sugar over the beef. These will seep into the meat, making it super flavorful.
04 -
Slow cook on low for 8-10 hours, or bake in a Dutch oven at 300°F (150°C) for 4-5 hours. You’ll know the beef is done when it easily falls apart with a fork.
05 -
Take out the cooked beef and shred it using two forks. Toss the shredded meat back into the pot and stir it to soak up all the delicious sauce.
06 -
Lightly toast your buns if you like them crispy. Load them up with the shredded beef, then add pickles, coleslaw, or onions before popping the top bun on.
# Notes:
01 -
You can refrigerate cooked beef for 3 days or freeze it tight for 3 months.
02 -
Try adding hot sauce or red chili flakes to the sauce for some extra heat.
03 -
This dish freezes well, but make sure to use airtight containers.
