This BBQ Chuck Roast is an easy and delicious way to enjoy tender, slow-cooked flavor without a grill. The roast is seasoned with a flavorful spice rub and cooked to perfection, making it a perfect dish for dinner paired with your favorite BBQ sides.
1: Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2: Combine salt, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, smoked paprika, and black pepper in a small bowl and whisk well.
3: Coat the roast evenly with a thin layer of mustard, then spread the spice rub over the meat using your hands to ensure it's evenly coated.
4: Place the meat in your roasting dish, cover it, and roast on the center rack for 2.5 hours.
5: Check for doneness; if the meat pulls apart easily, increase the oven temperature to 450°F.
6: Shred the meat into large chunks, discard any large pieces of fat, and pour BBQ sauce over the top. Toss well.
7: Return to the oven and roast uncovered for 15-20 minutes until the top layer has caramelized.
8: If the roast does not pull apart easily, return it to the oven covered for 30 more minutes, then follow steps 6 and 7.
