A delightful recipe for tender and flavorful BBQ beef, perfect for sandwiches.
Season the beef roast with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder evenly on all sides.
Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and sear the beef roast on all sides until browned.
Searing locks in the juices and enhances the flavor.
Add sliced onions, beer, and brown sugar to the Dutch oven, covering the beef.
The beer adds a depth of flavor; choose a lager for a balanced taste.
Cover and simmer on low heat for 2.5 hours, turning the beef halfway through.
Check occasionally to ensure the liquid doesn't evaporate too much.
Remove the beef from the Dutch oven and shred it using two forks.
Shredding while the beef is warm makes the process easier.
Mix the barbecue sauce into the remaining liquid and onions in the Dutch oven.
Adjust the sauce's sweetness or tanginess by adding sugar or vinegar.
Return the shredded beef to the Dutch oven and mix well with the sauce.
Let the beef absorb the sauce for a richer flavor.
Serve the BBQ beef on sandwich buns with your favorite toppings.
Pair with coleslaw or pickles for a classic BBQ experience.
