Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the beef. Brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. When you are browning the second side, add the onions to the pan and let them cook slightly.
Add the beef to your Crock Pot, then pour the sauce over the top. Secure the Crock Pot lid and cook for 4-6 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low.
Once the barbacoa is cooked, you can give it a quick shred with two forks and serve warm.
