Add olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat and sear beef on all sides until deep golden brown.
Take the beef out and place it in the slow cooker. Deglaze pan on the stove with the beef stock, scraping the bottom of the pan to remove all the yummy bits. Pour everything over the beef in the slow cooker.
Cook on high for 2-4 hours or low for 4-6 hours or until beef is so tender it shreds. Drain liquid and set aside.
Place the beef onto a plate or cutting board. Shred beef, removing any excess fat. Place beef back into the slow cooker on the warm setting.
Add about 1/2 cup of the stock back to the cooker. Add the BBQ sauce and stir to combine.
Serve on slider buns with more bbq sauce if desired.
