ITALIAN SHREDDED BEEF



Italian Shredded Beef image

Another delicious recipe from my friend Hazel. When she served this everyone around the table was going "mmmmm"! I have served this MANY times and always get asked for the recipe when I do. This isn't a fast recipe, but well worth the time it takes to make it!

Provided by Michelle S.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 3h45m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 lbs stewing beef, in 1 inch cubes
1 large onion, minced
3 beef bouillon cubes
2 cups hot water
1 cup Burgundy wine (or other dry red wine)
1 package good seasons Italian salad dressing mix

Steps:

  • Brown the beef in a small amount of oil until nice and brown.
  • Add the remaining ingredients.
  • Simmer until the beef is very tender and starts to shred, a MINIMUM of 3 hours.
  • Check as it simmers to make sure it doesn't dry out.
  • Adding more water, wine, or beef broth as needed.
  • But not until necessary.
  • Serve on crusty hard rolls.
  • We sometimes like to add sauteed pepper strips and a slice of Provolone cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, rump roast, and brisket are all good choices for shredded beef. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in a liquid.
  • Brown the beef before cooking: Browning the beef adds flavor and helps to keep it from becoming dry.
  • Use a flavorful cooking liquid: Beef broth, chicken broth, or tomato sauce are all good choices for cooking shredded beef. You can also add herbs, spices, and vegetables to the cooking liquid for extra flavor.
  • Cook the beef until it is fall-apart tender: This will usually take at least 2 hours, but it may take longer depending on the cut of beef and the cooking method.
  • Shred the beef: Once the beef is cooked, shred it with two forks or a meat shredder. You can also use a food processor to shred the beef, but be careful not to over-process it.
  • Serve the shredded beef: Shredded beef can be served on its own, or it can be used as a filling for tacos, burritos, or sandwiches. It can also be added to soups, stews, and casseroles.

Conclusion:

Shredded beef is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy meal or a hearty and comforting dish, shredded beef is a great option. With a little planning and effort, you can create a delicious shredded beef dish that your family and friends will love.
