I love BBQ, especially pulled pork, but I can get tired of it. So for a change of pace, pulled beef adds some variety.

Steps

9 hours

1

Mix all the ingredients for the beef rub together. Using a sealable container to vigorously shake the rub ingredients together works well to thoroughly combine them. This will make enough rub for several applications.
2

Lightly coat the chuck roast with olive oil.
3

Sprinkle the beef rub evenly on the outside of the chuck roast. Gently rub in the spice mix to coat the meat.
4

Preheat your smoker to get between 220 to 250?F. Ensure to set up the smoker for indirect heat. Recommend you use hickory or oak wood as your smoke source.
5

Place the beef on the smoker and smoke for about 6 hours.
6

While the meat is on the smoker, make the sauce. Simply add all the sauce ingredients to a saucepan, mix, and simmer on low for 10 minutes. Sauce will keep for weeks, so it can be made days in advance.
7

Slice the onion into large rounds. Add the onions and garlic cloves to a large foil pan.
8

After about six hours, remove the beef from the smoker.
9

Place the beef in the foil pan on top of the onions and garlic. Add the beef stock to the pan. The broth should come up about half way up the beef.
10

Tightly foil the pan and place in a 350?F oven. Cook for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours until the beef is fork tender.
11

Once the beef is done, use a pair of forks to pull the meat into strands.
12

Serve the pulled beef on buns with warm BBQ sauce and enjoy.
