craftymama Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I am looking for a recipe to make roast beef that would be good for sandwiches (something along the lines of pulled pork). I don't want to do a lot of prep and I don't have time to experiment. Does anyone have a recipe they could share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Well, ours isn't particularly healthy.... but roast + 1 can cream of mushroom soup + 1 packet onion soup mix + a lil' bit water. Cook all day (I put it on in the morning, have it ready for dinner). It makes a gravy if you want to serve it that way (with mashed potatoes, yum!), but if you remove it from the gravy, it shreds really well for sandwiches & stuff...

trulycrabby Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I love allisoncook's recipe, but here's another easy, simple one: http://addapinch.com/cooking/2012/10/25/balsamic-roast-beef-recipe/#axzz2p9l1VtGN Sometimes I substitute a bit of Dale 's seasoning for Worcestershire...

*Alyssa* Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I am from the home of the best BBQ (KCMO) and it truly is the very best (minus the cheap knockoff found in stores, "KC Masterpiece"). I'll beat anyone up who says otherwise. :boxing_smiley: :laugh: However, I have lived in the mid-Atlantic area for over a decade now and love the taste of NC pulled pork. If you like vinegary food, I highly recommend this recipe from the Food Network. (I don't eat pork anymore, so I use roast beef instead.) Then again, I'll make just about anything that calls for Worcestershire sauce, because I love the taste of it. The only thing I would add is to poke holes in the meat and allow the liquids to go into the roast. Hope you find a yummy recipe you're looking for!

I'm sure my DH will appreciate the variety! :D One easy pulled pork recipe: a sliced onion on the bottom of the crock pot, the pork roast on top of that, and pour a can of ginger ale over top. Seriously, it defies explanation... but it is good. We remove onions b/f serving (picky kids) and I serve on buns with bottled BBQ sauce on the side.

Cook several hours (5-8 hours) on low. When meat is done (at lest 5 hours), shred it and put back in its juices to finish the cooking time. The more time it has to soak up the juices after you shred it, the better! Put shredded meat on rolls. Top with favorite cheese and put the top roll on. Bake in the oven or put under the broiler until roll is toasted and cheese is melted. Serve with a bowl of the juices and peppers for dipping. Yes!!!

merry gardens Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Chuck roast with Lipton Onion Soup mix and 1 cup of water. Cook in crock pot on low for 6-8 hrs. If you want you can brown the meat on the stove first, which makes it a little better, but that Iis not neccesary. It pulls apart easily and can be used for sandwiches or tacos.

mrsrevmeg Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I usually just slice an onion into rings and add it to the crock pot with a bit of water and Worcestershire sauce and some garlic (either 2-3 cloves or some garlic powder) poured over the roast.. I also sometimes do a similar Italian one to the one above. My family likes it either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelbe5 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I made this Italian beef recipe last night! So easy and delicious. It is spicy, just so you are aware. http://southernfood.about.com/od/crockpotbeefrecipes/r/bl101c3.htm I see someone posted a similar recipe but hey, you can never have too many, kwim? We put provolone cheese on the Italian rolls before adding the beef. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftymama Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 I love allisoncook's recipe, but here's another easy, simple one: http://addapinch.com/cooking/2012/10/25/balsamic-roast-beef-recipe/#axzz2p9l1VtGN Sometimes I substitute a bit of Dale 's seasoning for Worcestershire... I tried this one a couple of weeks ago and it didn't work for me. The meat had no flavor. What did I do wrong? I did end up having to cook it on high for the shorter time instead of low because of time so maybe it was that simple. Any other ideas?

SweetMissMagnolia Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 really easy--slice some onions,potatoes-whatever root veggies you want in with your roast....add both the veggies and the roast to the crock pot---salt/pepper---I either add in a can off beef consume or French onion soup and let it cook.....if I don't have any I will use a little water....

AngieW in Texas Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I really like this recipe from Sandwich King: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/jeff-mauro/chicago-italian-beef-pot-roast-style-recipe/index.html I follow just the roast beef recipe and I do the actual roasting in my crockpot.

Loowit Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I put a pot roast in, add some onion soup mix (I strain our the onions) cover with water and add about 4 beef bullion cubes. I cook it all day (about 8 hours) on low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a family favorite in all our households, as my DD's make this too. If it's my house, I just serve it with really great rolls...sourdough kind of rolls. Hearty ones that won't fall apart when they get juice on them. My DD's husband prefers them made as above ......toasted with cheese. I thnk they get dry and love tthem juicey. We also prefer them with a can of beer in stead of the beef broth. The flavor is so much richer. Yes, we don't keep beer in the house, and it's frustrating to find a bottle when I need it..but ti's worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
