This tender beef has become a tasty tradition when I cook for our harvest crews and for neighboring ranchers who come to help us sort our cattle. Those hungry folks have been a good testing ground for recipes. They let me know if a new one I try is a "keeper". -Betty Sitzman, Wray, Colorado

The family thought this was delicious....I was sick and didn't get to have it but I'm sure I would have agreed with them. I'd give it a five star rating, but for some reason the box where you click on the stars won't allow me to do so, nor check the box saying I'd make it again. I would! (I'd like to be able to have some the next time around.)

Excellent recipe, I increased the vinegar and hot sauce slightly.

We love this recipe!! Often times we just eat it on our plate, skipping the bun. I have also used this recipe for pork. Excellent. Surprisingly you can use pork loin, which is lean, and still have delicious results.

Made this on several occasions. I've even pureed the cooked veggies in the cooking liquid because of some very picky eaters at my house.
