This is a recipe of my mother's that we always wanted for parties. It is shredded meat in sauce. Actually, we know it by the name Beef Barbecue, but I think barbecue means different things depending on where you're from.
Ingredients:
3 lbs beef chuck
2 medium onions
1 large green pepper
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/3 cup prepared mustard
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon tabasco sauce
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper
3/4 cup catsup
hamburger bun
Directions:
1. Simmer meat several hours until it falls apart when pierced with a fork; then remove meat from liquid and shred with a fork (liquid may be used as stock in other recipes).
2. Combine onions, green pepper, butter, brown sugar, tomato paste and salt, and simmer 15 minutes,or until tender.
3. Add mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, pepper, red pepper and catsup, and simmer 5 more minutes.
4. Combine sauce with meat.
5. Serve hot on hamburger buns to make sloppy joes.
6. Note: It is also possible to use ground beef.
7. Brown in frying pan; remove as much fat as possible, and stir in sauce.
