Chicago Shredded Italian Beef

Alrighty! I am from the Chicago area, and i can tell you with some certainty, that this really does taste like home. I used a Chuck roast, but round should be fine. you can thicken the juices for a nice sauce. Serve over home-made rolls!


Ingredients:
3 cups water
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper (white pepper has an extra kick)
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil
1 tsp onion powder (minced works too)
1 tsp parsley
1 tsp garlic powder
1 bay leaf
1 (.7 oz) pkg italian-style dressing mix
1 (3 to 5 pound) rump roast or chuck roast

Method:
1. Combine the water and the dry ingredients in a saucepan.

2. Bring to a boil.

3. place roast in 3-5 qt slow cooker.

4. pour the boiled mixture over the meat in the slowcooker.

5. Cover, cook on low for 10-12 hours, or high for 4-6 hours.

6. when done, pull out the bay leaf, and shred the meat with a fork.

(i pulled the meat out to a plate and let it rest while i thickened the sauce in the cooker. shred with two dorks, like pulling pulled pork.)

7. Prepare for food coma :-)
