My Beef Barbecue
Description
This hearty beef barbecue dish transforms affordable stew meat into tender, shreddable perfection through hours of low-and-slow simmering. The sauce is a robust blend of tomatoes, ketchup, cider vinegar, and Worcestershire, creating a complex balance of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors. Unlike quick grilling methods, this approach allows the collagen in the beef to break down completely, resulting in a texture that easily pulls apart. It is an ideal choice for feeding a crowd at potlucks, tailgates, or family gatherings. Serve the thickened mixture on toasted buns with your favorite condiments for a satisfying, home-style meal that tastes even better the next day.Ingredients
Directions
-
Combine beef stew meat, chopped tomatoes, chopped onions, water, chili powder, salt, black pepper, ketchup, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and hot pepper sauce in a very large heavy pot.
-
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low.
-
Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender enough to fall apart and shred easily.
-
Monitor the pot carefully during the last hour of cooking to prevent sticking or burning, as the liquid will reduce significantly.
-
Continue simmering until the sauce is very thick and the volume has reduced.
-
Serve the shredded beef mixture on hamburger buns with mustard.
