I’ve used a very special cut of prime rib eye today, simply because that’s what we had in the fridge. If you prefer a brisket, or a slab of chuck steak (go with your preference) and just enjoy the tender marinated shreds in a perfectly soft roll with crunchy slaw, maybe some corn on the cob and juicy slices of watermelon…ps, don’t forget the beer!

Time: slow cooked for 5-6 hours depending on the size of the cut you use.

Ingredients:
Beef or your choice of protein,
Garlic cloves, (maybe 3 or 4)
Onion diced,
Bay leaves, 4 or 5
Paprika,
Sugar,
Garlic salt,
Siracha chilli sauce
Mustard paste
Vinegar,
Maple syrup
Crushed tin tomatoes
Salt and pepper

*condiments are to taste*
Large casserole dish with a cover

Also, preheat the oven to 180C (350F)

Method:

I measured out roughly half a cup of vinegar, mustard sauce mixed with siracha sauce and maple syrup, again this is according to taste,

Tomatoes go into the casserole pot too, with a half tin of water too,

Final rub down of more paprika, sugar, garlic salt and pepper,

Into the preheated oven it goes, I prefer to cook till the top goes brown for the first hour. Then I reduce the temperature down to 140C or (300F) and keep it slow cooking until the meat falls off the bone like so…
