JoAnn Merrill's excellent recipe for beef barbecue. Plan ahead - it takes some time to make. I've served this at parties to rave reviews and no leftovers. If there are leftovers, they can be frozen and reheated at 50% power until hot. This recipe cannot be made in a crockpot since there is no evaporation of liquids in a crockpot.
Ingredients:
4 lbs beef stew meat, small cubes
30 ounces canned tomatoes, chopped
2 onions, chopped
1 quart water
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt, to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup catsup
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/3 cup worcestershire sauce
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
Directions:
1. Combine all in a VERY large heavy pot. Simmer uncovered over low heat until beef falls to shreds, stirring occasionally. This will take 5 to 6 hours, watch carefully the last hour that it is not sticking. Mixture should be very thick. The mixture fills a large pot before cooking but becomes a small amount by the time it is cooked.
2. While cooking, chopped green peppers, celery carrots and a bay leaf may be added.
3. Serve on hamburger buns.
