Sharon'S Ono Barbecue Beef - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 lbs boneless chuck roast
1/2 onion, diced
1 1/2 cups catsup (preferably Heinz)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 - 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (depending on taste)
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 -3 garlic cloves, minced

Preparation

Place chuck roast into a crock pot.
Combine remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Pour barbecue sauce over meat.
Cover& cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or high for 4 to 5 hours.
Remove roast from crock pot& shred meat with two forks.
Place shredded meat back into crock pot& stir to coat meat with sauce.
Cook for 15 or 20 minutes with lid off on high to reduce sauce. (Lately, I have been transferring the sauce to a pot on the stove top & reducing it while I shred the meat. The other way will work, but the stove top is more efficient.).
Note: Sharon recommends cutting back just a bit on the vinegar.
