Slow Cooker BBQ Beef

The slow cooker is the perfect way to cook some of the most delicious shredded BBQ beef.

When you take a bite of this shredded beef, you are greeted with an explosion of flavor thanks to our wonderful sauce. The meat itself is so tender that it melts in your mouth. It is a truly delicious combination that is certainly worth making.

You will be able to feed four to six people without adjusting the recipe. I recommend serving some extras to go along with the beef. For example, I love a good side dish of homemade potato chips.

Any leftover meat is great for a quick and easy meal the next day. It should last for roughly three days in the refrigerator or three months in the freezer.

If you rather something a bit plainer, then you should give our pulled beef recipe a try. Unlike this recipe, it won’t produce much sauce but is still incredibly delicious.

BBQ Beef Serving Ideas

This pulled beef goes great inside a delicious bread roll. I love to add some ingredients such as lettuce, tomato, and some cheddar cheese. But, of course, there are plenty more ingredients that will match the beef and bread roll perfectly.

You can easily serve the beef alongside a couple of side dishes. For example, I love to serve pulled beef with some homemade fries and a basic green salad. However, if you feel lazy, then some frozen fries are the perfect solution.

The slow cooker BBQ beef will also work very nicely as a topping on some pizza. You can use a traditional pizza base, or get creative and do a puff pastry pizza base instead. Whatever you decide, this beef is perfect as a topping.

My last recommendation is to serve the beef like how you would want a fajita. Simply add the beef alongside some lettuce, cheese, and other ingredients to a tortilla. Eat with your hands. It is a simple but extremely delicious way to eat this beef.

Best Cut of Beef to Use

To get the best value for money, I recommend buying a cheap cut of beef to use in the slow cooker. The long cooking time will tenderize the meat and be just as flavorsome as an expensive cut.

I recommend using beef brisket for this recipe, but plenty of other cuts will work fine. For example, flank, skirt, rump, or chuck will all work great. Some of these cuts of meat might go by a different name depending on where you live.
