BARBECUED BEEF ON BUNS

Steps:

• Place beef, onion and celery in a Dutch oven; add water to almost cover meat. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until meat is tender. Remove meat; strain and reserve cooking liquid. Trim and shred meat; return to Dutch oven. Add 2 cups of strained cooking liquid (save remaining cooking liquid) and chill. Skim and discard fat. Add ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar and seasonings. Cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. If mixture becomes too thick, add additional reserved cooking liquid. Serve on hamburger buns.

BARBECUED ROAST BEEF ON A BUN

Steps:

• Mix salt, sugar, pepper, and cayenne for dry rub together and coat beef well on both sides.
• Place on a rack set on a sheet pan and refrigerate, uncovered, for 12 to 24 hours, flipping over halfway through.
• Mix barbecue sauce, vinegar, mustard, turmeric, and garlic together for wet rub and reserve.
• Transfer beef to a dish and pour 1/2 of the wet rub over top. Use two forks to poke the surface all over for about 1 minute. Turn beef over and repeat with remaining wet rub. Spoon any excess on the bottom over the top.
• Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 12 hours.
• Preheat a charcoal grill until the briquettes turn white and ashy. Remove meat from the refrigerator, uncover, and scrape off excess wet rub.
• Grill over hot charcoal until blackened and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat reads 120 to 125 degrees F (49 to 52 degrees C), 7 to 10 minutes per side, or to desired doneness. Remove to a foil-lined plate, and quickly wrap up tightly in foil.
• Let rest for at least 15 minutes, during which time the meat will finish cooking, and end up close to medium-rare.
• Slice very thinly, toss in the meat drippings and juices left in the foil, and serve on buns.

BARBECUE BEEF ON BUNS (A FANTASTIC RECIPE!)

Steps:

• Place the chuck roast in a very large pot and cover with water. The water level must be at least 2 inches above the top surface of the roast. If you don't have a large enough pan a large soup pot will work, but the water level fills the pan over three-fourths full, and you will have lots of splatters on your stovetop (to alleviate this problem, cover your entire stovetop, except for the heating element you have your pan sitting on, with aluminum foil). It's imperative that you always keep the water level at least 2 inches above the roast. If you use a soup pot, add more water about every 30 minutes! When I cook the roast I USE A LID to partially cover the pot.
• Bring the water to a boil, and cook for about 3 hours until the meat is tender. (I keep the heat a little lower than medium-high, which is a fairly strong boil. Recently I cooked a chuck roast weighing 4.16 pounds and it took 3 hour and 15 minutes, I'm sure the cooking time will vary according to the weight of the meat and how hard the meat boils).
• Meanwhile, make the barbecue sauce. BARBECUE SAUCE INSTRUCTIONS: Into a LARGE saucepan thoroughly combine the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, chili powder, vinegar, sugar, and onion. Cover and refrigerate for later use. Don't use a medium saucepan because the sauce gets so hot that it can pop out of the pan and can burn your hand.
• When the roast is done, remove it from the water with a sharp meat fork and place it on a platter to cool slightly.
• When the roast is cool enough to handle, shred the meat by hand (I shred the beef with a dinner fork, and then pull the larger pieces of meat apart with my fingers).
• Remove the barbecue sauce from the refrigerator, and over high heat, stirring constantly, bring the sauce to a boil. Remove from heat and cool.
• Pour the sauce over the meat, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours before serving in order for the sauce flavors to absorb into the meat.
• When ready to serve, reheat the meat on the stove, in the microwave, or in an electric slow cooker.
• Serve on buns.
• Note: I freeze any meat that I don't use up within 3 to 4 days. I use fold-top plastic sandwich bags, placing 1/2 cup barbecue beef in each bag. I then, place all the little bags within a large freezer bag and place them in the freezer. One 4.16 pound beef chuck roast will give you approximately 15 servings (1/2 cup each).

BARBECUE BACONLOAF BUNS

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon; set aside. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the drippings. Add the onion to the skillet; saute until soft, about 8 minutes. Let cool.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Combine the bacon, onion, beef, panko, cheese, eggs, 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce and the parsley in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper and mix with your hands until just combined.
• Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray. Pat the meat into each muffin cup to just below the top. Spread 1/2 tablespoon barbecue sauce on each. Bake until cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool in the pan.
• Meanwhile, butter the buns and toast cut-side down in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sandwich the meatloaves on the buns; top with pickles and serve with extra barbecue sauce.
