Basic Drip Beef

This beef sandwich had great flavor and was very easy!

You cook it in a heavy pot instead of a crock pot. I don't know why you couldn't put it in a crock pot if you don't like the idea of putting it on your stove all day.

My house smelled like dinner all day, but at least dinner was pretty much done in the morning!

Basic Drip Beef

(Pioneer Woman)

• 2.5-4 lb chuck roast
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 large onion, sliced thick
• 3 cloves garlic, peeled
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1 cup sherry (substitute 2 tbsp vinegar + chicken stock to equal 1 cup)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 4 cups water
• Toasted, buttered rolls
• Cheese, optional

Heat butter in a heavy pot over med-high heat. Saute the onions for a couple minutes, or until starting to brown.

Set roast on top of the onions. Add all remaining ingredients and cover pot. Simmer on very low heat on the stove for 6 hours, or until beef is fork tender or you can shred easily.

Shred meat with 2 forks until all large chunks are gone. Serve immediately or you can continue to simmer for 30 min. to 1 hour.

Serve with your rolls or you can also toast under the broiler and melt cheese!
