Ingredients
Scale
- Beef: 3 lbs chuck roast, trimmed
- Glaze: 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, black pepper, onion powder, and smoked paprika to create the glaze.
- Place the chuck roast in a large roasting pan and pour the glaze over the meat, ensuring it is well coated.
- Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
- Cook for 3 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and the glaze has thickened.
- Remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) for the last 30 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
- Let the beef rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- This dish can be made a day in advance; simply reheat in the oven at 250°F (120°C) for 30 minutes before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a lower-sodium option, use low-sodium soy sauce and reduce the amount of Worcestershire sauce.
