Ingredients
- 1 lb beef chuck roast
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup barbecue sauce

- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

How to Make Pulled Beef Burger
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Season the beef chuck roast with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat, and sear the beef on all sides until browned.
- Once seared, remove the beef from the pot and set aside. Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom.
- Return the beef to the pot, cover with a lid, and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for about 3 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
- Remove the pot from the oven and shred the beef using two forks. Stir in the barbecue sauce until well coated.
- To assemble the burgers, place a generous portion of pulled beef on the bottom half of each sesame seed bun. Top with shredded lettuce and tomato slices, then add the top bun.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious pulled beef burgers!
Tips for the Best Results
- For added flavor, marinate the beef in your favorite barbecue sauce for a few hours before cooking.
- If you’re short on time, you can use a slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours instead of using the oven.
- Feel free to add toppings like pickles, onions, or cheese for extra flavor.
Easy Variations
- Swap the pulled beef for pulled pork or chicken for a different twist.
- Try using a spicy barbecue sauce for a kick.
- Add avocado slices or jalapeños for an extra layer of flavor.
