Pat the beef chuck dry with paper towels and season generously on all sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper. 2. Heat the high-temperature resistant oil in a hot pan over medium-high heat. 3. Sear the beef chuck on all sides until a nice golden-brown crust forms. Remove the seared beef from the pan. 4. Pour the red wine into the hot pan to deglaze, scraping up all the flavourful browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Set aside. 5. Slice the white onions and garlic cloves. Place the sliced onions at the bottom of the slow cooker to form a bed for the beef, then scatter the sliced garlic over them. 6. Add the beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce, tomato paste, dry oregano, smoked paprika, and bay leaves to the slow cooker. 7. Pour in the deglazed red wine from the pan. 8. Carefully place the seared beef chuck into the slow cooker on top of the onions and pour in any remaining juices from the plate. 9. Secure the lid on the slow cooker and set the temperature to 'high'. Cook for 8 hours until the meat is incredibly tender and easily shreddable. 10. Once cooked, carefully remove the beef chuck from the slow cooker and transfer it to a bowl, ensuring you save all the cooking liquid in the slow cooker. 11. Skim off some of the excess fat from the surface of the reserved cooking liquid, but leave a little for added flavour. 12. Using two forks, shred the tender beef apart in the bowl. It should easily slide away. 13. Ladle 3 to 4 portions of the reserved cooking liquid over the shredded beef to keep it incredibly juicy and infused with deep, slow-cooked richness before serving. Pro Tip Do not skip the searing process! Searing the beef before slow cooking creates a beautiful golden-brown crust, locking in moisture and developing a richer, more complex flavour profile for your shredded beef. --------------------------------------------------- Cooking equipment that I use or recommend Disclaimer I earn a small commission from Amazon for purchases made through these links.
