PULLED BEEF CROCK POT



Pulled Beef Crock Pot image

This is the best tasting pulled beef which my finicky child always has seconds. My family enjoys this after a long day. I enjoy the perfect flavor for my taste buds. Took years of experimenting to get it where I like it.

Provided by Chef Louisa

Categories     Meat

Time 5h10m

Yield 4 Sanwiches, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 lbs chuck steaks
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons blackstrap molasses
1/8 teaspoon hickory liquid smoke
4 tablespoons yellow onions, coarsely chopped (lg. chunks)
4 Italian rolls (I prefer long rolls over round rolls)

Steps:

  • Place meat on bottom of crock pot. Place ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and molasses into saucepan over medium heat. Reduce for 5 minutes. Add the onion and cook another 5 minutes Place strainer over crock pot and strain the sauce well; flipping the onions and gently smashing with a spoon till the sauce is all in the crock pot. Discard cooked onion. Cook on High for 3-1/2 Hours. Turn temperature to low and cook another 1-1/2 hours. Take the meat out of crock pot with serrated spoon. Pull meat apart with two forks into large chunks. (Can be cooked on low for 8 hours.).
  • Cut rolls lengthwise -- I always cut so that the top is thinner than the bottom. Take a spoon and spoon some of the sauce onto both the top and bottom of the roll and spread quickly so the roll doesn't get mushy. Broil for a moment to heat up the roll.
  • Add sauce to the shredded beef in a bowl. Spoon the saucy shredded meat onto the warm rolls.
  • I serve with potato salad, green beans, and apple sauce. Enjoy!

Tips for Making the Best Pulled Beef:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Beef: Brisket, chuck roast, or rump roast are all excellent choices for pulled beef. These cuts are tough, but they become tender and flavorful when cooked slowly.
  • Season the Beef Generously: Before cooking, season the beef with a flavorful rub or marinade. This will help to infuse the meat with flavor.
  • Cook the Beef Low and Slow: The key to tender, juicy pulled beef is to cook it low and slow. This can be done in a smoker, slow cooker, or Dutch oven.
  • Monitor the Internal Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of the beef. The beef is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 200-205 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the Beef Rest: Once the beef is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before shredding. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Pulled beef is a versatile dish that can be served in a variety of ways. It can be served on its own, on a bun, or in tacos. It can also be used as a filling for burritos, enchiladas, or quesadillas. Regardless of how you choose to serve it, pulled beef is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So fire up your smoker, slow cooker, or Dutch oven and get started on making the best pulled beef you've ever tasted!
