Beer Buttered Beef Sandwich with Sweet and Sour Red Onions and Horsey Sauce

Ingredients

• 7-8 pounds chuck roast
• 1/4 cup garlic powder
• 2 Tbsp kosher salt
• 1 Tbsp fresh ground black pepper
• 3-4 Bottles or cans of beer
• 1 stick unsalted butter melted
• Salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste
• Your favorite sandwich buns

Sweet n’ Sour Red Onions

• 1 medium red onion, sliced thin
• 1 1/2 tsp white vinegar
• 1 1/2 tsp cider vinegar
• 1 Tbsp maple syrup
• Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Horsey Sauce

• 1 cup sour cream
• 3 Tbsp prepared white horseradish
• 2-3 dashes Worcestershire Sauce

Method

1. Place the chuck roast in a slow cooker and sprinkle with the garlic powder, salt and pepper. Pour in enough beer to just cover all of the meat, cover the slow cooker, and set the heat on “high”.  Cook for 6-8 hours, until the meat falls apart easily.
2. Remove all of the meat from the slow cooker and allow it to cool completely.  Pour out the remaining cooking liquid and reserve for later use.
3. Pull apart the meat, by hand, into small shredded pieces discarding any large pieces of fat.
4. Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker with the heat set to “low”, add enough liquid to moisten slightly (about 1 cup), and stir in the melted butter until well mixed.    Adjust the seasoning with more garlic powder, salt and pepper if necessary.  Reheat completely before serving.
5. If preparing ahead, refrigerate the the Beer Buttered Beef for up to 2 days, and reheat comletely to serve.  If necessary, use additional reserved cooking liquid to keep the beef moist while serving.

1. Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl.  Allow to marinate while the beef is cooking, stirring occasionally.

1. Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl until incorporated completely, just before serving the sandwiches.
