We LOVE food in this house. This was a recent recipe that was made for our annual gourmet birthday dinner with our friends Judy and Steve. Judy and I get together early and cook up a storm for all of us. Many beverages were consumed and great food was eaten. Every year, we do a different ethnicity - this year was Tex-Mex. This recipe comes from that meal. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. YUM!!
Shredded Beef
2 1/2 pounds chuck roast
salt (as needed)
thyme (as needed)
red chile powder (as needed)
1/2 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tsp salt
With a damp towel wipe the chuck roast. Sprinkle the salt, thyme, and red chile powder on both sides. Rub the seasonings in well.
In a large, heavy casserole place the seasoned chuck roast, onion, and garlic. Fill it half way up with water, and cover.
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Bake the roast for 6 hours. Raise the heat to 325 degrees fro the last half hour. Add more water if needed. Remove the roast, shred it, and toss it together the salt.
