Pulled Beef Slow Cooker Recipe
We are huge fans of crockpot recipes at my house. Well, maybe I should say that I am just altogether a huge fan of easy dinner ideas. The ease of them, and the fact that they can basically make themselves, yah … crock pot recipes are a savior when it comes to dinner at our house.
And, it sure helps when the slow cooker can make a slow cooked pulled beef recipe like this. I mean, where can this go wrong? Spoiler alert, it can’t go wrong.
And, I know that this is one of those crazy recipes that use beer, but it’s so good, and the beer cooks off. It’s just a fun and unique way to marinate beef, right? If you’d rather not use beer in your crock pot, you can instead make this really popular easy french dip crock pot recipe. This French Dip recipe is always really popular year round on Pinterest, too. It’s just as awesome!
On another note, if you’re looking for a slow cooker Mexican Beef, you’re in the wrong spot, this pulled beef has nothing Mexican food about it, but you can find a really super Slow Cooker Shredded Mexican Beef right here. It looks delicious, but this pulled beef recipe that I have put together for you below is more meant to be enjoyed in a hoagie and topped with some delicious melted provolone cheese.
Crock Pot Shredded Beef Ingredients:
- 3 pound chuck roast
- 2 cans Beef Broth (I use this kind here)
- 1 can beer (12 ounces)
- 2 envelopes dry onion soup mix
- 1 Garlic clove (minced)
- 2 t sugar
- 1 t dried oregano
Crock Pot Shredded Beef Ingredients:
Ingredients
- 3 pound chuck roast
- 2 cans Beef Broth I use this kind here
- 1 can beer 12 ounces
- 2 envelopes dry onion soup mix
- 1 Garlic clove minced
- 2 t sugar
- 1 t dried oregano
Instructions
-
Place chuck roast in slow cooker. Pour broth, beer, soup mix, garlic, sugar and oregano over the meat.
Place slow cooker on high 6 to 8 hours.
Remove beef to a bowl and shred with two forks (you may also use a hand mixer like the ones below and here - I have the Hamilton Beach one and LOVE it!)
Return beef to liquid.
Find the best Hoagie rolls you can find, cut in half length wise and place meat in hoagie rolls.
Lay slices of provolone cheese on top of sandwiches and broil on low until cheese is golden brown.
Serve with beef sandwich juices on the side for dipping.
Once you’ve got your ingredients together, you’re off to the races, as this is really a bit of a dump and go crock pot dinner. There’s not much more to the recipe other than layer in your ingredients, put that crock pot on low and let it cook low nd slow all day. Once it’s finished simmering on low, you’ll want to add the juices and everything but the meat into a sauce pan and let it thicken for a little bit.
If you want a creamier au jus to go with your beef sandwiches, you’d simply add a cornstarch and water mixture to the liquids while it’s in the saucepan. The Spruce has a really good article on how to thicken au jus sauce that you can see here.
