Barbecue Beef Sandwiches
The round steak used for these sandwiches becomes very tender after simmering in the tomato and vegetable sauce. The meat is shredded after it has cooked to the proper tenderness; and then it is added back in with the sauce. The sauce with the vegetables added makes this a hearty sandwich with lots of flavor. This shredded beef recipe makes a good sandwich to serve at a backyard gathering of friends and family.
