We’ve recently been posting many vegetarian focused recipes and tips. We both tend to cook very “veg-centric” meals at home, and truly think a meal centered around whole grains and seasonal veggies is delicious…seriously! But there are times when only a succulent and juicy piece of red meat will do. And that time, is now!
We truly believe in the phrase “everything in moderation.” There is a time for kale salads, roasted veggies, and tofu. There is also a time for cheese burgers, milk shakes, and cheesy fries. Moderation my friends, moderation.
This bbq braised beef will not only satisfy the biggest carnivore in your group, but it will also leave you with tender, shredded meat that you can use to “beef” up your meals. Braised beef tacos would be delicious the next day for dinner, shredded beef topped rice would be excellent packed up for lunch, and if you happen to love it so much you simply eat it straight from the pot…I won’t tell.
Cooking the meat low and slow leaves it very tender. The sweetness from the bbq sauce and tomatoes will make your kitchen smell amazing! And when combined with your hunk o’ beef…perfection!
Braised BBQ Beef
Serves | 6-8 |
Website | Simply Recipes |
Ingredients
- 2 Pound chuck roast, flank steak, or any other cut of beef you enjoy braised
- 1 large onion
- 28 Ounce can whole tomatoes
- 1 bottle your favourite bbq sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
Note
I love this as a sandwich between a soft and "squishy" bun. But, you could also serve the meat over mashed potatoes, rice, or polenta to soak up all that delicious sauce.
Directions
1. | Heat a large, heavy pot or dutch oven on medium heat. Add onions and cook until translucent. |
2. | Add the tomatoes, roughly chopping them in the pot. Add the bbq sauce and increase heat to medium high and simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir often to prevent the liquid from burning. |
3. | Add the beef and bring to a low simmer. Cover and cook for about 3 hours. |
4. | Remove the beef from the pot and use a fork and knife to cut it into small pieces. |
5. | Increase the heat on the pot to medium-high, uncover, and simmer until the sauce is thick, stirring often again so it doesn't burn. |
6. | Add meat back to the pan and warm both through. |
This sandwich will definitely satisfy your next meaty craving!
