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.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 8h5m

Yield 12 sandwiches, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 -3 lbs roast (chuck or rump are my favorite)
1 (16 ounce) can of sweet baby ray's original barbecue sauce
2 minced garlic cloves
1 (12 ounce) can Coke (I use vanilla coke)
2 teaspoons onion salt
12 rolls or 12 French baguettes

Steps:

  • Put the chuck roast in the crock pot. pour the can of coke over the roast, sprinkle the onion salt on top of the roast add the minced garlic and then smother the whole thing with barbecue sauce.
  • Cook it on low for 8 - 10 hours. the meat will practically shred itself when you insert a fork into it. Just continue to move the fork around and mix the meat completely with the sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are all great options for barbecue beef sandwiches. These cuts are tough and flavorful, and they benefit from the long, slow cooking process.
  • Use a good quality barbecue sauce: The barbecue sauce is what really makes the sandwich, so don't skimp on quality. Look for a sauce that is thick, flavorful, and has a good balance of sweetness and smokiness.
  • Cook the beef low and slow: The key to tender, juicy barbecue beef is to cook it low and slow. This allows the collagen in the meat to break down, resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
  • Shred the beef against the grain: Once the beef is cooked, shred it against the grain. This will help to create tender, flavorful sandwiches.
  • Toast the buns: Toasted buns will help to hold up the sandwich and prevent it from getting soggy.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Once the sandwiches are assembled, add your favorite toppings. Some popular options include coleslaw, pickles, and onions.

Conclusion:

Barbecue beef sandwiches are a classic American dish that is perfect for any occasion.
