SPICY BARBEQUED BEEF SANDWICHES



Spicy Barbequed Beef Sandwiches image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h25m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (2 1/2 to 3-pound) beef chuck pot roast, or other cut suitable for roasting
1 tablespoon garlic powder
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup barbecue sauce, divided
2 tablespoons hot sauce, divided
12 Kaiser rolls or crusty Italian rolls, sliced

Steps:

  • To cook en papillote (on the grill, enclosed in foil), preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  • Rinse beef to remove any unwanted smells, pat dry with paper toweling and season with garlic powder and salt and pepper, and set aside briefly. Make an oven pouch out of a 3 foot length of heavy duty foil by bringing the 2 ends to the center, folding the sides to seal, and leaving an opening at the top center through which to place the sauce and beef. Shake flour in the pouch to coat the inside. Sear all sides of beef on the grill, then put beef in pouch and pour 1/2 cup of the barbecue sauce and 1 tablespoon of the hot sauce over the meat (reserving the rest of the barbeque sauce and hot sauce). Seal the foil pouch by folding shut. Grill bagged beef directly on grill for about 30 minutes per pound. Ideally this should be cooked until fork tender, so that you can pull it apart with a fork.
  • Let beef rest 10 minutes before carving into thin slices, or pulling it apart with a fork. Heat the reserved barbeque sauce and hot sauce in a small saucepan. Then chop or shred the sliced beef and serve on Kaiser rolls or crusty Italian rolls. Spoon a bit of the extra sauce over the meat.

TANGY BARBECUE SANDWICHES



Tangy Barbecue Sandwiches image

This is adapted from a crockpot cookbook I have. The original recipe contained water and cooked on high. We found that the meat is better cooked on low, and that the addition of the water makes it too soupy. We enjoy this on onion rolls from the bakery of our local grocery store. Sometimes we even spread the rolls with garlic butter and toast them under the broiler before loading with the meat. Great with Recipe #71203, #71203 or my Recipe #247747, #247747.

Time 8h10m

Yield 14-18 sandwiches, 14-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups celery, chopped (I dice this pretty fine, as I'm not a big fan of celery and don't want to find recognizeable chunks )
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup ketchup
1 cup barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt (I usually omit this)
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (I usually just throw in a healthy spoonful of the jarred minced garlic)
3 -4 lbs boneless chuck roast (trim any visible fat off first, to avoid having it liquified in your sandwich later)
14 -18 hamburger buns
pickle (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except roast, buns, and pickles in crock pot. Mix well.
  • Add roast. Roll the roast around to coat with the other ingredients.
  • Cover. Cook on Low 8-10 hours.
  • Remove roast. Cool enough to shred meat with two forks. Depending on the direction of the grain of the meat, you may want to cut into smaller pieces with a knife before shredding. The last time I made this, I had very long shreds of meat that didn't stay on the bun very well when I bit into it, because the grain ran weird on the roast, and I just shredded it anyway.
  • Return meat to sauce. Heat well.
  • Serve on buns with pickles, if desired.

  • Cook the meat low and slow: This will help to tenderize the meat and allow the flavors of the rub to penetrate. You can cook the meat in a smoker, on a grill, or in the oven.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: A good barbecue sauce will help to take your sandwich to the next level. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own. Some popular ingredients in barbecue sauces include tomato sauce, vinegar, molasses, and brown sugar.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Once your meat is cooked and sauced, it's time to add your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for barbecue sandwiches include coleslaw, onion rings, and pickles.
