Barbecued Beef

How to make Barbecued Beef - Perfect for a country lunch, this is easy to serve when you are expecting a crowd. The thin slices go into sandwich buns. The meat is even better when made ahead to be reheated before serving.

Makes about 6 servings per pound

Ingredients:
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Few drops hot-pepper sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon mixed pickling spices
1/2 cup tomato ketchup
1 teaspoon whole-grain country-style mustard
1 teaspoon salt
2 to 3 pounds boneless brisket or round of beef
Buttered white or rye sandwich buns
Additional mustard

Method:
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine all ingredients except meat, buns and extra mustard. Simmer, covered, 10 to 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Place beef in a non-aluminum baking pan.

Pour sauce over beef. Roast beef, basting with sauce frequently, about 2-1/2 hours or until meat is tender. Cool 30 minutes. Slice thinly and return to sauce.

Bake 1 hour longer, turning meat in sauce frequently. Serve slices in buttered buns. Offer mustard.
