Tips:

  • When choosing your meat, opt for a chuck roast or venison shoulder for the best results.
  • Brown the meat well in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming dry.
  • Use a combination of beef broth, Italian seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce to create a flavorful braising liquid. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic, onion, and paprika, to taste.
  • Cover the pot and braise the meat for at least 2 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender. The longer you braise the meat, the more tender it will be.
  • Once the meat is cooked, shred it with two forks and return it to the pot. Stir in the reserved cooking liquid and any additional seasonings you desire.
  • Serve the shredded meat on hoagie rolls with your favorite toppings, such as provolone cheese, roasted red peppers, and a side of au jus.
