Barbecued Beef

By cookmichele

This is another, slightly easier version of the shredded beef I often make when serving large crowds, such as our brandings each spring.

Ingredients

• 15 pounds boneless chuck roast
• 7 1/2 cups ketchup
• 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp. Dijon-style mustard
• 1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
• 1 1/4 cups red wine vinegar
• 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp. Wrocestershire sauce
• 3 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. liquid smoke flavoring
• 2 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Preparation

Step 1

Place chuck roasts in crock-pots. Combine remaining ingredients in mixing bowl. Pour barbecue sauce mixture over chuck roasts, dividing evenly. Cover and cook on low heat for 8 - 10 hours or on high heat for 4 - 5 hours. Remove chuck roasts from crock-pot and shred meat. Place shredded meat back in crock-pot. Stir meat to evenly coat with sauce. Spoon meat onto sandwich buns and top with additional barbecue sauce if desired.
