Ingredients for - Pulled Beef Sandwich
How to cook deliciously - Pulled Beef Sandwich
1. Stage
Cut the beef chuck roast in half and place it in a 3- or 4-quart slow cooker. Editor's Tip: For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the beef in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker.
2. Stage
In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard, liquid smoke (if using), salt, garlic powder and pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until they form a smooth, well-blended sauce.
3. Stage
Pour the sauce mixture over the beef in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or until the meat is tender.
4. Stage
Remove the meat from the slow cooker and let it cool slightly. While the meat is cooling, skim any excess fat from the surface of the cooking liquid. Using two forks, shred the cooled beef.
5. Stage
Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker with the remaining sauce. Cover and cook for an additional 15 minutes on low or until heated through.
6. Stage
Using a slotted spoon to drain excess liquid, place about 1/2 cup of the pulled beef mixture on each sandwich bun. If desired, top with sliced onions, dill pickles and pickled jalapenos. Editor's Tip: Lightly toast the buns for an extra crunch and to prevent the buns from getting soggy.
