Shredded Beef au Jus
My mom found this recipe in a farm journal soon after she and my dad got married. The tender beef has been a family favorite for years, and my dad often requests it. —Danielle Brandt, Ruthton, Minnesota

Delicious! My guys loved it and argued over the leftovers! As a "scratch cook", I love that recipe doesn't call for gravy mix. Simple, easy and a home-run at my house.
Delicious. I did not find the dish too salty as others did. I did replace beef broth for water and still added the bouillon. Otherwise I cooked exactly as described in recipe. The au jus was very flavorful. The meat did take a full 8 hours to become tender. I would make this again.
Delicious! I used no salt beef broth instead of water and bouillon cubes and did not use garlic salt, but powder to cut back salt amount. Would make again.
I am blind and cannot see where to click the star rating. But I would give this five for sure. It was so easy and so very good and tender. I used a 3 1/2 pound chuck tender roast. The only thing I did different was to use garlic powder instead of garlic salt. And also 1/2 teaspoon of the season Salt and added a half teaspoon of ground black pepper. Watching my sodium intake. It was delicious. Cooked for 7 1/2 hours on low. And it was fall apart tender. Husband wants to have leftoversloaded up on bake potatoes.
I've been making this for my husband for a while. He loves it. I do add more garlic and use beef broth instead of water. It's one of his very favorites! It also helps if you use a good cut of meat with minimal fat.
YUMMY!!! I would give this more than 5 stars if allowed. This is SO delicious and the au jus is wonderful! I did use garlic powder andfresh rosemary. I did not think it was salty at all My husband said this is one of the best roast beef sandwiches he ever had. This recipe is a definite keeper!
Delicious and easy.
Very good... I eliminated the salts and used garlic power and onion powder instead. I also added some sliced onions half way thru the cooking time.
Made this for dinner the other night, love the taste and it was so easy! Did add a sliced onion to it.
When I first started cooking I thought "oh no, it's so watery, doesn't look good". A few hours later the house was filled with an amazing aroma and the shredded meat was soooo good! I love how this takes literally 5 minutes to make and is absolutely delicious!
