Ingredients
Method
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 4 minutes per side.
- Place the beef in a slow cooker. Add onions and garlic on top.
- In a bowl, mix ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, cumin, black pepper, and kosher salt.
- Pour the sauce over the beef and onions.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
- Remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred with two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and mix with the sauce.
- Serve the pulled beef on challah buns or with a side of roasted vegetables.
Notes
For a spicier version, add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
