If the guys in your life are wondering "where's the beef?"...here it is!
I was at a women's conference some twenty years ago...and attended a cooking workshop. The facilitator left me with some wonderful recipes that I've made my own since that time. One of our family favorites is the BBQ'd Beef. I have brought it to potlucks...camping trips...and it was our dinner at the beach a few nights ago.

BBQ'd Beef
- 5 steaks (any kind)
- 1 28 oz. can tomatoes
- Cook in slow cooker overnight (about 10 hours) on low.
- Drain juices and shred the cooked beef with two forks.
Sauce
- 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 3 tbsp. packed brown sugar
- 1 tbsp. worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp. parsley flakes
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- 1 tsp. prepared mustard
- 1/2 tsp. oregano
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne
- Sauté onion and celery until tender.
- Add remaining sauce ingredients and heat through.
- Add shredded beef and simmer for about 1 hour. (I return meat and sauce to slow cooker until serving time.)
- Serve on submarine or beef-dip buns.
The original recipe calls for five steaks...I use any beef I have handy. I often cut up large roasts...and if my crockpot is chock-full, I make slightly more of the sauce.
