What you need:
2 1/2 lbs of Beef Roast or stew beef (whichever is cheaper by the pound)
1 cup Ketchup
1/4 cup Soy Sauce
1/8 cup of Vinegar (I recommend either Apple Cider or Rice Vinegars)
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
3 whole bay leaves or 1/4 tsp crushed bay leaves
How you do it:
Turn crock pot on high heat
Mix ingredients together in the crock pot
Add beef
Put on the lid and leave it
Cook on high for 3 to 3 1/2 hours
** the meat should be tender and the sauce should be a medium brown. After 3 hours check to make sure the meat isn't burning and switch to low until desired tenderness. The longer the better. Add more ketchup, soy and vinegar toward the end if you are running out of sauce. Add other seasonings as you see fit.
Why it's so good:
This is not your traditional southern bbq sauce, but it will not disappoint. The flavor is sweet and savory with the saltiness and tang of the soy and vinegar. The longer you leave it the more tender and flaky the beef becomes. Great over white rice but sinful over saffron rice. Mix it, set it and go about your business until it's time to eat. SO EASY, and SO GOOD!
