The Weather and Pull Apart Beef

Hi ya! What a beautiful weekend we had here in St. Louis. Some, I know, especially in the NW, didn't have such a good weekend weather wise. But hey, 5 years of Winter was too much for me.

I made me some pulled beef and cole slaw yesterday. It was so good, the back of my head was sweating. MamaJo, who only lives a few blocks away offered me some slaw to pick up and I forgot. Not once, but 3 times. Ouch! Oh well, I'm off the list now.

I used the recipe for pulled beef below only I added a few things. It cooked much of the day. Not gonna waste any time. Let's start off Monday the right way.

Kieto's Pull Apart Beef

3 lb. boneless chuck roast (lean)

1 stalk celery, chopped

1 med. onion, chopped

1 green pepper, chopped

3 oz. catsup

3 tbsp. vinegar

1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp. salt

1 tsp. pepper

1 1/2 cup chicken stock

1/8 cup balsamic vinegar

Mix all. Pour over beef in roasting pan. Cover and bake 1 hour at 400. Then lower temp to 250 for 3 hours.

Take out and let it rest for a good 15 minutes.

Meat should be falling apart. Shred it with fork. Reduce the juices a little while adding a little balsamic vinegar to taste. Pour over pulled beef.

Serve on crisp buns and top with cole slaw. Freeze well.

Mama mia and buon appetito. Kieto
