Roasted and Shredded Beef Sandwiches

January 8, 2012 by Joy the Baker 112 Comments

Dear New Year,

Here’s the deal!  I like carrot sticks.  I’m going to keep eating those.  I like oatmeal cookies.  I’m going to continue to consider them a breakfast cookie.  I’ll drink green juices.  I’ll even like it.

Also… I’m going to continue to follow 3 people on Facebook that I don’t actually like.  It’s that ‘keep your enemies close’ thing.

I’m going to drink tea, but I’ll always love coffee more.

I’ll go to church.  I’ll volunteer… and I’ll try to be better all the time.  I’ll try most sincerely.  I’ll try to love more and text less.

I’m going to find a new bourbon to appreciate.  That should be bonkers fun.

I’m going to eat real dinners, unless eating cold cereal while reading Food and Wine magazine makes more sense.

That’s where this roasted beef sandwich comes in.  Gorgeous.  Glorious.  Blessed day!  This could be the answer to unanswered questions.  Slow cooking, good smelling, tender tender, sandwich goodness.

Alright New Year, I’m gonna getcha!

Love,

Joy

This might have been love at first sight.  Now I know what that’s like.  Thank you!

There is such beauty in the simplicity of this recipe.  Beef roast is combined with broth, lots of raw garlic, onion, fresh sage and fresh thyme.  I used a large Dutch oven… but a slow cooker (crock pot) also works well too!  Beef is slooooooow cooked to tender perfection.  This takes hoooouuuurrrsss.  You can do all sorts of things in the time it takes for this roast to simmer, cook, and make your home smell amazing.

Errands.  Emails.  Closet organizing.  Nail painting.  Cookbook browsing.  Facebook stalking… imagine the things you could do.

After cooking the meat is removed from the liquid and shredded with two forks.  It falls apart, really.  It is a perfect thing.

The roasted beef is matched with brioche buns and spicy horseradish mayonnaise.  Major delicious.  Major boy food.  Major family food.  Set it and forget it…. and then be amazed at what an amazing chef you are!

These photographs were taken with an iPhone using Instagram.  Keeping it simple.

    Somehow you’ve made beef sandwiches (something I would never be that into) sound DELICIOUS.

    And I like your take on the new year a lot! Carrots and cookies.

    Talk about perfection! The looooong cooking time would build such anticipation as the scents permeate from the kitchen. I know I would devour more than my share of this beef!!!

    Happy New Year. I totally think oatmeal cookies are breakfast food. I mean they have oatmeal. Obviously.

    Btw I love the cover of your book. I am super excited for it. :)

    I am going to veganize this. The horseradish sauce sounds tasty, Veganaise should do the trick.
    Thanks Joy, your imagination is refreshing.

    Slow cooking is the way to go, I’ve been trying use it more but always end up with delicious pulled pork (no complaints). I will have to try beef now!

    On another note, facebook is built for stalking! That’s the only way to really know what’s going on.
