2lb chuck browned 4 min per side w a little olive oil to coat. skipped the seasoned salt , reduced the water to half with a 2lb chuck. Chopped up 1 onion and 4 cloves of garlic. This worked for me! tip,, although i cut the water in half I still thought it was to much liquid and took some out,,, if you eat or freeze leftovers, the meat will ultimately absorb the water.
Whole family loved this recipe. Before we finished dinner they asked me to make it again soon. I followed the recipe as stated. Thank you!
Family said this is fantastic. It will be great on a sandwich.
My husband and Dad want it again!!! They love it…
I used The Shed Original Southern Sweet bbq sauce and it came out delicious! But I love sweet bbq sauce!
Very, Very, good! I used 1/2 Tbsp of steak seasoning, but that was the only thing I changed. We ate the meat as sandwiches for one meal, and shredded beef tacos for the next meal.
Very nice flavours, only complaint is I thought is was too watery. Once I placed the meat back into the slow cooker after shredded it with all the seasonings, I added all the water, next time I will only add 1/2 of he water..
Yum! I only left about a half cup of water in the slow cooker after I shredded the roast, and tossed the rest of the water. Otherwise I followed the recipe as written. Delicious!
I make this a lot and it’s always a hit! I usually do a 3 lb roast and triple everything. I’ve used different varieties of McCormick’s steak seasoning. I also use Sweet Baby Ray’s Honey BBQ sauce so I don’t add the extra honey. Never fails.
Awesome! I added some seasonings to the water while the roast was cooking in the crockpot. BBQ seasoning, peppersteak seasoning, garlic and onion powder, then added everything again at the end. Wow, did it turn out great! I will make this again and incorporate it into many recipes.
Love doing this in the crockpot and making shredded BBQ beef sandwiches, or using it instead of ham (which my husband doesn’t like) in a favorite family casserole with mashed potatoes and grated cheddar cheese. I took the advice of another reviewer and added onions to the crockpot and bits of garlic actually stuck into slices in the roast while cooking. Use a good quality BBQ sauce for the best results!
terrrific.I added more bbq sauce
I added some red and green peppers that I had sauteed the night before for fajitas. And then melted cheese on top prior to serving. Also, I didn’t add the steak seasoning, since most often, that just adds extra sodium that is not necessary.
Oh sometimes simple it just so good.
After reading some of the reviews, I cut back just a tad on the seasoning. Also, because I had a cheap piece of beef with little fat, I browned it very well in a cast iron skillet and used beef broth in the crock pot. Very easy and very tasty.
I love this recipe. I actually tried it with country style ribs and they fall to pieces. I have also tried it with beef roast and it tastes just as good.
This was the best shredded beef I’ve ever had. Delicious!
Wonderful flavor! I didn’t change a thing and it was great. Everybody loved it!
I had a rump roast in the freezer and didnt know what to do with it so I came across this and decided to use it as a base… I took about 3 large garlic cloves and cut them in half I then made 3 cuts in the roast and put half a garlic clove in it, when I put the roast in the crock pot I used a cup of beef broth and also added a medium onion to it laying a couple strips of the onion on top of the roast and putting the remainder garlic under the roast, I set it on high and let it cook for 5 hours and anytime I would walk by the kitchen I would take the juice around the roast and pour it over the top of it, at the 5 hour mark it was really moist and i was able to pull it apart with no problem, after pulling it apart I then put it back into the crock pot and added about a tablespoon and a half of honey and then I used some remaining bbq sauce I had left over in the fridge, didnt have a lot but it was enough for the roast I then added a tiny bit more beef broth to the roast and some cumin I didnt measure how much I used I just kind of eyed it, I then let it cook on low for about an hour and a half, it turned out really good 🙂 made the house smell fantastic my fiance kept asking when is it going to be done
I doubled the recipe as I had probably closer to 3 lbs of my roast, but didn’t realize the water was for the roast 🙁 It was very spicy, even for myself, but I would cut back on the steak seasoning. I also used the Montery steak seasoning. For myself, I would probably use more bbq sauce.
we weren’t crazy about this. the cumin overwhelmed everything else. I’d try it again, but with half the cumin and probably double the steak seasoning. texture was great.
