I think these rock! From “John Madden’s Ultimate Tailgating”... this is a fabulous BBQ beef recipe for those Sunday or Monday Night Football parties, tailgating at the stadium, or just ‘cause they’re soooo good.

This sauce is perfection!! I did have to use red wine vinegar because I didnt have the apple cider vinegar and i used franks red hot instead of tabasco. Other than that I followed i to a T. As soon as u mix all the ingerdients together you can tell by the smell it was exactly what u were looking for. My only issue with the recipie is that it calls for cooked shredded beef. To save alot! of time I used an uncooked whole roast trimmed the fat, seared it on the stove threw it in the crock w/ a little water on high for an 1hr 30min. drained the fatty juices then, poured the sauce over it cooked on high another 3 hours or so until tender to the fork. Then I removed the roast let it cool slightly shredded it and added it back to the sauce. To die for sauce and so affordable. Thanks for the recipie.
