I cook the beef in water, then make the sauce and add the beef to it once it's shredded. I don't like the idea of cooking the raw meat in the same sauce we will be eating. Very good sauce! A new favorite at our house.

I tried this recipe because of the high scores and ribbon award. I was unexpectedly dissappointed in it. This is a FIRST that I didn't like a Taste of Home recipe that was rated this high & blue ribbon quality. I've had 100% success with every other recipe (I can't say that about all the cookbooks and websites). Very disappointed :(

This recipe, as written, is not that great, which is why I gave it only 2 stars. You really shouldn't cook the meat in the sauce. It turns out flavorless and not saucy enough that way. Maybe this recipe is intended to be more like a Texas bbq or maybe I was just expecting something different, but I was very disappointed. I ended up having to make a whole other batch of the sauce to mix in with the meat after it was cooked. The sauce is great. I think the right way to do this would be to cook the meat, shred it, drain the juices, and then add the sauce and continue to heat through. This is how I've always done pulled pork. Done this way I actually give this recipe 4.5 stars. The sauce is very delicious.

Everyone in my family loved this recipie...they were tired of the same old pulled pork/beef sandwiches, so i tried this and none left over by the end of the evening. i did only use about 1/2 of the sauce though...seemed it would be too sloppy then.

Although I prefer BBQ pork, I decided to try this recipe. I thought the flavor was great and my 3 and 5 year old both ate it, so I will give it a thumbs up!

Made this recipe for the hunting party this weekend based on the high reviews. No one liked this. Usually this group will eat anything.
