Directions
Slow cooker shredded beef barbecue recipe with a homemade barbecue sauce that’s sweet and tangy—perfect make-ahead beef BBQ for a summer cookout or potluck.
Season flour generously with salt and black pepper. Rub the flour into the beef roast.

Set slow cooker to low and cook for about 14 to 16 hours.
Serve over buns.
Tips
For additional flavor heat to this beef BBQ recipe heat, some oil over medium-high heat in a dutch over and thoroughly brown the roast on all sides before adding to the slow cooker. Then use the tomato sauce (or some bourbon :) to deglaze the dutch oven, scraping up all those flavorful brown bits, and transfer to the slow cooker.
Add onion and garlic powder to the flour before rubbing all over the roast beef.
