FAQs
Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Yes, other tougher cuts like brisket or shoulder roast work well with slow cooking and will absorb the flavors nicely.
How can I make the glaze thicker?
Simmer the cooking liquid uncovered on medium heat until it reduces and thickens to a sticky consistency. You can also add a small amount of cornstarch slurry if you want it thicker faster.

Ingredients
Meat
- 3 to 4 pounds chuck roast
Sauce
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Prepare the Chuck Roast: Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels. This helps the seasonings and glaze adhere better during cooking.
- Make the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, and minced garlic. Stir until the sugar is mostly dissolved to create a sticky, flavorful glaze.
- Slow Cook the Roast: Place the chuck roast in a slow cooker. Pour half of the prepared sauce over the roast to coat it evenly. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 9 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the meat is tender and easily shredded.
- Glaze the Meat: Once cooked, remove the roast from the slow cooker and place it on a serving platter. Spoon the remaining sauce from the slow cooker over the roast and brush it on to create a sticky glaze.
- Slice and Serve: Slice the chuck roast against the grain into desired thickness. Serve the slices drizzled with the sticky BBQ sauce, alongside your favorite sides.
Notes
- For deeper flavor, marinate the roast in the sauce overnight before cooking.
- Adjust brown sugar quantity for sweetness preference.
- Use low sodium soy sauce to control saltiness.
- Leftover roast makes excellent sandwiches or rice bowl toppings.
