Ingredients

3-4 lb. lean boneless, beef chuck roast
2-3 Tbsp. Montreal steak seasoning
2-3 Tbsp. olive oil
12 oz. chili sauce, I use Heinz Chili Sauce. Do not use hot chili sauce for this recipe.
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 12-oz. cans beer

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Pat the roast dry with a paper towel. Season both sides evenly with the Montreal Steak Seasoning. In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the meat on all sides.
In a large bowl, whisk together chili sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and beer. Pour this mixture over the browned meat in the Dutch oven. Cover with a lid and bake for 3-3 1/2 hours or until fall apart tender. Remove from the oven. Remove the meat from the pan to a large platter or board and let stand for 5 minutes, then shred the meat with two forks. Add the meat to a serving dish and top with a few ladlefuls of the gravy.

Notes

I used a 3 1/2 pound chuck roast for this receipe. Any size between 3-4 lbs. will work.

The chuck roast cut usually has some fat. I chose a roast with the least amount of fat that I could find.

When the roast is done cooking, I remove it to a large platter or cutting board and shred it with two forks before returning it to a serving dish and then adding a few ladlefuls of the gravy.
