What is best cut of beef for shredded beef barbecue?
Jackie asked:
I want to make shredded beef barbecue on a bun for a group of people and have had conflicting info on the best cut of beef to use…rump, brisket, etc. Appreciate recipes, too.

I use pork butt roast, turns out perfect every time. Just trim the fat. I put it in the crock pot on low with seasonings, including brown sugar, after 2 hours I pour a can of Coke over it (the BEST tenderizer). At 4 hours, I take it out, place in a bowl to cool. When it is cool enough to work it shred with two forks (or the last time my hubby cut ours up and put in the Food Processor, it worked awesome!!), drain the juice from the crock. Put the shredded meat in a bowl and add your favorite BBQ sauce, as much or as little as you want. Mix it through, return to crock and heat it through. Serve with crusty buns, and pickles. Yummo

How does this one look?
5-6 lb. of beef chuck roast
3 carrots, chopped in large chunks
1 large onion, quartered
2 bay leaves
4 large garlic cloves smashed
2 ribs celery, cut in large chunks
1 large bottle of favorite BBQ sauce, I use Sweet Baby Rays spicy Honey
In a large stock pot add all ingredients except the BBQ sauce, and just cover with water. Bring to a boil, then cover, and turn down heat to a simmer. Let beef simmer for about 2 1/2 hours, or until meat begins to fall apart easily. Remove meat from pot reserving the cooking liquid. Let cool briefly, then begin to “pull” the beef with 2 forks, resulting in a shredded beef. Add the pulled beef to a large bowl. Add BBQ sauce, and enough of the cooking liquid to give the beef a “cole slaw” look. I add about 1 cup of the cooking liquid along with the BBQ sauce. I then place the beef in a foil pan so it can be heated up on the grill, and serve on toasted hamburger buns. It is the best! Enjoy!
