Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions
 

  • Cut the chuck roast into cubes.
  • Make them about 2 inches each.
  • Trim excess fat if you prefer.
  • Pat the pieces dry with paper.
  • This helps seasoning stick better to meat.
  • Mix all dry spices in a bowl.
  • Coat each meat cube generously with seasoning.
  • Press the spices into the meat firmly.
  • Let it sit for 15 minutes minimum.
  • Preheat your oven to 250°F now.
  • Line your baking sheet with foil completely.
  • Arrange meat cubes on the sheet evenly.
  • Cover tightly with another foil layer.
  • Bake for 2 hours without peeking inside.
  • Combine barbecue sauce, broth, and vinegar.
  • Stir in butter until it melts smoothly.
  • Keep this sauce warm and ready.
  • Remove foil from the meat carefully.
  • Brush sauce generously on all pieces.
  • Increase oven temperature to 350°F now.
  • Bake uncovered for 30 minutes more.
  • Brush with sauce every 10 minutes.
  • Turn oven to broil setting for finish.
  • Broil for 3-5 minutes until edges darken.
  • Watch closely to prevent actual burning.
  • Remove when edges look caramelized perfectly.

Notes

  • Choose chuck roast with good marbling throughout.
  • Fat creates the juiciest burnt ends possible.
  • Don't skip the first slow-cooking phase.
  • This makes meat incredibly tender and flavorful.
  • Use quality barbecue sauce you actually enjoy.
  • The sauce flavor shines through the recipe.
  • Let meat rest 5 minutes before serving.
  • This keeps all juices inside the meat.
  • Make extra sauce for dipping at table.
  • Everyone always wants more sauce available!
