Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs boneless chuck roast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 12 slider buns (Hawaiian or any soft dinner rolls)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice)
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by seasoning the chuck roast. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and dried thyme. Rub this spice blend all over the roast, ensuring it's evenly coated. This step takes about 5 minutes and is crucial for building flavor.
  2. Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering (about 2 minutes), carefully place the seasoned chuck roast in the pan. Sear the roast for 4-5 minutes on each side until it develops a rich brown crust. Avoid moving the roast too much during this step; letting it sit will help achieve that nice sear.
  3. After browning, remove the chuck roast from the skillet and set it aside. In the same pan, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onions are softened and translucent, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. This step helps enhance the flavor of the dish.
  4. Return the chuck roast to the skillet. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, ensuring the liquid covers the bottom of the pan but does not completely submerge the roast. Bring to a simmer (about 5 minutes), then cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for 3 hours, or until the meat shreds easily with a fork. Check occasionally to ensure that the broth doesn’t evaporate too much; add a little water if necessary.
  5. Once the roast is done, remove it from the pan and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before shredding. Use two forks to pull the meat apart into bite-sized pieces. Keep an eye out for any tough bits and discard them. This process should take about 5 minutes.
  6. While the meat is resting, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, mix melted unsalted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Brush this mixture onto the tops of the slider buns.
  7. Arrange the slider buns on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
  8. Once the buns are toasted, assemble the sliders. Place a generous amount of shredded chuck roast on the bottom half of each slider bun. Add the shredded cheese and drizzle with barbecue sauce if desired. Place the top half of the bun on each slider.
  9. Return the assembled sliders to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to allow the cheese to melt slightly. Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley for a pop of color. Enjoy your delicious sliders!

Nutrition

Keywords: Don't rush the searing process for maximum flavor. Consider using a slow cooker for even more tenderness. Let the shredded meat sit in the cooking juices for optimal flavor before assembling the sliders.
