MILE-HIGH SHREDDED BEEF SANDWICHES



Mile-High Shredded Beef Sandwiches image

Found this recipe in one of the Fix It And Forget It Crock Pot books. I changed up a few ingredients. I will post the recipe from the book and then the changed ingredients at the bottom. These were amazing my way, but sure the original recipe is great also.

Provided by Kimi Gaines

Categories     Sandwiches

Time 6h15m

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 lb chuck roast or round steak
2 Tbsp oil
1 c chopped onions
1/2 c celery
2 c beef broth, reduced sodium
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
3/4 c ketchup
4 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp vinegar
1/2 tsp chili powder
3 drops tabasco sauce
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
MY SUBSTITUTIONS
instead of browning i just place my meat in the crock pot with slices of onion and the broth.
for the sauce i omitted chili powder for some special seasoning i had. no tabasco sauce, or worcestersire sauce.
i added bbq sauce and some molasses to my sauce.

Steps:

  • 1. The way I made it: place roast in crock pot with sliced onions & broth. Set for 6 hrs.
  • 2. Remove meat and get rid of any fat. Remove liquid from pot. Shred beef; set aside.
  • 3. Sauce: combine either the ones listed or the ones I used. Return meat to crock pot, pour sauce and mix well. Heat back up on low until ready to serve.
  • 4. Assemble each roll with a large scoop of meat and place coleslaw on top if you desire.
  • 5. For my coleslaw I bought the coleslaw in the bag and Marie's Coleslaw dressing in the produce department. Easy, fast & so good.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a chuck roast or another tough cut of beef with plenty of connective tissue. This will help the meat to become tender and flavorful as it braises.
  • Brown the beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat before braising. This will help to develop flavor and caramelize the meat.
  • Add plenty of aromatics to the pot, such as onions, garlic, carrots, and celery. These vegetables will help to add flavor to the broth and the meat.
  • Use a flavorful liquid to braise the beef, such as beef broth, chicken broth, or red wine. You can also add herbs and spices to the liquid for extra flavor.
  • Braise the beef for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender. The longer you braise the meat, the more tender it will become.
  • Once the meat is tender, remove it from the pot and shred it with two forks. You can then add the shredded beef back to the pot with the braising liquid and serve it over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Shredded beef sandwiches are a delicious and easy meal that can be made with a variety of different ingredients. With a little planning and preparation, you can make a shredded beef sandwich that is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give shredded beef sandwiches a try.
