No Matter How You Spell It

Which is best St. Louis Ribs? Carolina pulled pork? Texas brisket?

Ever since man put meat over fire there has been an argument of what barbecue is best. Or is it BBQ. Wait, it could be Bar-B-Que. Well….which is it?

The word, no matter how you spell it comes originally from the Spanish word barbacoa. They may have gotten it from somewhere in the Caribbean themselves. The number and varied ways of spelling it is only outdone by the number and varied ways that barbecue can be done.

Crocked BBQ Beef

While maybe not the best, it was easy and really good.

Brisket, spices and a few other things.

BBQ sauce.

With the slow cooker making this so tender, it was a breeze to shred.

I added some beans to give it some additional texture.

Delicious!

INGREDIENTS

1 tbsp olive oil
2 lbs rump roast (or other cut)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
10 ounces BBQ sauce, divided
Tortillas
Mexican shredded cheese

DIRECTIONS

In a skillet, over medium high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the roast and brown well on all sides. Remove roast and place in the crock pot

Season roast with seasonings and salt and pepper, then top withheld of the BBQ sauce. Place the lid on and cook on low for 6-8 hours, depending on the type of slow cooker you have. When the beef begins to shred easily, you’re nearly there. Pull the beef and shred. Drain fat, but keep flavorful juices and add the shredded beef back in. Add remaining BBQ sauce, mix well, and cook for another hour to warm up.

Serve on tortillas and top with cheese. Roll up tortillas.
