Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 to 4 lb beef chuck roast
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 12 slider buns
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • 3 cups shredded coleslaw mix
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Pat the chuck roast dry, mix the dry spices, and rub all over the beef. Sear in hot oil for about 4 minutes per side, then place in the slow cooker.
  2. Pour the broth and Worcestershire around the roast, sprinkle with brown sugar, cover, and cook on low for 8 hours (or high for 4) until fork-tender.
  3. Remove the beef, let it rest 5 minutes, then shred with two forks. Reduce the cooking liquid on the stovetop if needed, then stir the shredded beef back into the sauce.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together the mayo, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper for the slaw. Toss in the coleslaw mix and refrigerate until you are ready to assemble.
  5. Brush the cut sides of the buns with melted butter and broil for 1 to 2 minutes until golden. Pile the hot beef onto the bottom buns, top with chilled slaw, and serve.

Notes

The beef can be cooked on high for 4 hours if time is tight. The slaw can be made up to a day in advance and kept chilled; it gets even crunchier as it sits.
