  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and sear the beef chuck roast for 4–5 minutes on each side.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onions and minced garlic for 3–4 minutes until translucent.
  4. Transfer the seared beef into a slow cooker, layer sautéed onions and garlic on top, and pour in beef broth.
  5. Sprinkle the smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper over the beef and cover the slow cooker.
  6. Once cooking time is up, remove beef from the slow cooker and shred with two forks. Mix in BBQ sauce.

  8. Serve on a platter or individual plates and enjoy your Pulled Beef Sandwiches.

Notes

Searing the beef properly locks in juices and flavor. Prepare the sandwiches a day ahead for deeper flavor.
