my family really loved the tangy sauce. my beef did not slice, it actually shredded, but since it was served on the buns it was easier to eat. this was a quick, easy, tasty weeknight meal

I am currently taking a free course on special education advocacy. Every week someone has to bring dinner for everyone else. This was my week so I made this recipe. It was a huge hit and everyone said I raised the bar as far as dinners go. My daughter was sad I couldn't leave some for her. I ended up with enough to bring some home but no way to store it for the four hours I was in class so it just stayed out in the open. Very very tasty, I will make this again!
