Incredible Shredded Barbecued Beef

Submitted by tree luee dee

"I'm beginning to sound like a broken record, but this recipe comes from my "Taste of Home" magazine (Aug/Sept 96). While this may be a bit time consuming, it is without a doubt the best BBQ beef I have ever tasted. Also, it makes so much that you can either eat it for a whole week (lol) or freeze some for later."

This is a delicious beef barbecue. The Taste of Home recipe also calls for a tablespoon of liquid smoke; next time I will try that. Thanks for sharing!

I made this for Freezer Tag 2008. We ate half of the recipe immediately and froze the rest. It was awesome both ways. We had been looking for a barbecued beef recipe to be the standard in our house and this is going to be it!

This was very, very good. Very moist with plenty of sauce to shred the beef into. After doing that, we thought it was on the sweet side and added a little more spice to balance it out. Overall, pleased with the method. You wouldn't even have to shred the beef back into the sauce if you wanted it to be plain (it was excellent that way.)

This is truly a winner. I also kept this recipe from the "Taste of Home" magazine and make it quite frequently during Football season. All my guests love it!
