I love having friends over for a "winter picnic" each year, and these sandwiches are really a hit with potato salad and baked beans. The beef freezes well, which makes it handy to have on hand for last-minute meals.

Ingredients

  • 1 beef sirloin tip roast (4 to 5 pounds)
  • Water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
