Ingredients

  • 3 lb beef pot roast blade or cross rib cuts work well
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 4 tbsp canola oil
  • 2 cups blackstrap barbeque sauce
  • 1 ½ cups beef stock
  • Salt and pepper to season

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed skillet. Season the meat with salt and pepper and brown the pot roast on all sides in the skillet. Move the pot roast to a small roasting pan.
  2. Add all the remaining ingredients to the skillet to deglaze the pan, then pour the braising liquid over the beef in the roasting pan. Cover and roast in a 325 degree F oven for 2 1/2 -3 hours until the meat is fully cooked, tender and falls apart easily.
  3. Remove the beef from the pan and reduce the braising liquid to a barbecue sauce consistency.
  4. You can puree the sauce using an immersion blender or in a blender for a smoother consistency.
  5. When the sauce is reduced enough, pull the beef into small pieces and add it back to the sauce so that it is thoroughly coated.
  6. Serve on toasted crusty bread with cheddar cheese if you like.
