Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 3h5m

Yield 12-18 sandwiches, 12-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 lbs top round roast
3 medium yellow onions, quartered and sliced
3 cups cattlemens smoky barbecue sauce, preferred (or other smoky sauce)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 (12 ounce) bottle beer
1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Season both sides of the roast with the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and minced garlic.
  • In a dutch oven on your stove top heat the oil on medium-high heat. Add the roast and lightly brown each side. This takes about one minute on each side.
  • Pour in half of the bottle of beer.Put the cap back on you will use the rest later. Top the roast with the brown sugar. Add the sliced onions.( These will cook down and the kids won't even see them.) Put the lid on and cook on medium for 1 1/2 hours.Make sure the juices are at a low simmer.
  • Take off the lid and pour in the other half of the beer, turn the roast over, mix everything around real good and put the lid back on. Cook on medium-low for another 1 1/2 hours.The juices should be at a lower simmer now.
  • When the time is up check tenderness. The meat should pull apart with a fork easily.
  • Remove the roast from the pan to a plate if it is done.
  • The onions should be cooked down to practically nothing and there should be no more than a cup of juices left in the pan. Add the bbq sauce to the onions and juice in the pan.
  • On the plate cut the roast across the grain at about every 3 inches. This will make the roast pull apart into smaller pieces. Pull the meat apart with a large fork into shreds.
  • Add the meat to the sauce mixture and mix very well. The meat will absorb all of the sauce quickly.Let it sit on very low heat for about 30 minutes before serving.

OVERNIGHT BBQ BEEF SANDWICHES



Overnight BBQ Beef Sandwiches image

I found this recipe on allrecipes, and wanted to get it into my cookbook because my family LOVED it! I used a roast instead of the brisket, and it fell apart, it was so tender. The sauce can be a little thin, so more cornstarch may be needed. I also ran the sauce through the blender while I was shredding the beef, because my family doesn't like chunky onions.

BEEF BBQ SANDWICHES



BEEF BBQ SANDWICHES image

Categories     Beef     Tailgating

Yield 24-30 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into 2 inch cubes
1 stalk celery, chopped
3 large onions, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 14-oz bottle ketchup
2 T salt
3 T bbq sauce
3 T vinegar
1 t hot sauce
1 1/2 c water
2 T chili powder
1 t ground black pepper
24-30 hamburger buns

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients (except for buns) in a large oven-proof pan. Cover with lid or foil and bake at 300F for 6 hours. BBQ will be dark and beef will be falling apart. Skim fat from surface. If made ahead, refrigerate and remove solidified fat before reheating. Beef should break apart when stirred. If not, shred with two forks. Make sandwiches using warm beef bbq (either just made or reheated), wrap in foil and tailgate away!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, brisket, or short ribs are all good choices for barbecue sandwiches. These cuts have a lot of connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking and makes the meat tender and flavorful.
  • Slow-cook the beef: The best way to cook barbecue beef is to slow-cook it over low heat. This allows the connective tissue to break down and the flavors to develop.
  • Use a good barbecue sauce: The barbecue sauce is what really makes a barbecue sandwich special. Choose a sauce that you like the taste of and that will complement the beef.
  • Toast the buns: Toasted buns will help to hold the sandwich together and add a bit of crunch.
  • Add your favorite toppings: There are many different toppings that you can add to your barbecue sandwiches, such as coleslaw, onion rings, or pickles.

Conclusion:

Barbecue beef sandwiches are a classic American dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like your sandwiches saucy or dry, with or without toppings, there is a barbecue beef sandwich out there for everyone. So next time you are looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give barbecue beef sandwiches a try.
