Expert Tips
Variation Ideas
- Crockpot Recommendations - If you are in the market for a new slow cooker, see Best Slow Cookers of 2024.
- Shred Beef - You can easily shred the beef with two forks. But an easy way is to shred the beef is with a hand mixer or a stand mixer.
- Sauce Consistency - If you prefer a thicker sauce consistency, add more BBQ Sauce and let the BBQ beef cook for additional 30 minutes in the crockpot.
- Searing - There is no need to sear the roast before placing in the slow cooker. Searing does add flavor and you can sear the meat in a skillet, but this is an optional step.
- Change the Meat - You can use different cuts of beef or try using chicken or pork. We usually use what we have.
- Homemade BBQ Sauce - Make your own homemade barbecue sauce with easy ingredients. It only requires a few ingredients including apple cider vinegar, Dijon Mustard and ketchup to make BBQ Sauce.
- Add different toppings - Top you BBQ Beef Sandwich with coleslaw, cheese, avocado or bacon.
- Use Different Seasoning - Add in some onion powder, smoked paprika and garlic powder to enhance the flavor. We have even added in a tablespoon of brown sugar for a hint of sweetness.
- Frozen Roast - If you forgot to thaw out your roast, no worries. You can still cook this recipe as is. I would just add a couple of hours of cooking time to the recipe to ensure the beef is tender. .
- Serve over Rice - Instead of serving BBQ Beef as a sandwich, serve it over rice.
