ROAST, BURRITO, AND BBQ BEEF

 This is kind of a conglomeration of so many different things, but i guess you can have a glimpse of what we have eaten in the last week. There are so many different things that you can do with a roast and these are a few of the things that we have done with ours besides the meat and potatoes. I have tried to figure out what the best way to cook a roast is and while i don't know if i have mastered it yet, it served its purpose and tasted good for all of these recipes. I took a chuck roast, and used a dry rub of kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne pepper. I then seared the roast in a grill pan, chopped an onion and placed it all in the crock pot for 8 hours on low.

 EIGHT HOURS LATER

(this roast was so good. i have debated on whether or not to add additional liquid, what spices to use, you name it, i've debated and this time i added no liquid, and look at all of that incredible juice that we ended up with. the roast was extremely tender, and tasted amazing. meaty, salty and a little spicy.)

that night we just ate roast and then as left overs we had these two yummy things.

THE FANCY BURRITO

(this is one of the mans favorites)

 1. TAKE LARGE TORTILLA

 2. SPREAD SOME RE-FRIED BEANS ON IT

 3. ADD SPANISH RICE

(i will post my recipe once i figure out how much of everything i actually use)

 4. ADD SHREDDED BEEF AND ONIONS

 5. SPRINKLE WITH CHEESE AND ROLL UP

 6. ADD CHEESE TO TOP AND BROIL

  7. REMOVE FROM OVEN AND POUR OVER ADDITIONAL BEEF AND JUICE

(i added some more hot sauce to the juice when i heated it up just to add an additional kick)

8. ENJOY

BBQ BEEF SANDWICH

i don't have extensive instructions for this, while it isn't very difficult, just shred beef and heat with BBQ sauce, i added a little Sriracha and it was delicious. toast bread, add beef and eat!

today i also made a bbq beef pizza, i took dough, and used BBQ sauce and Sriracha mixture for the sauce, added mozzerella and shredded beef and onions on top. turned out pretty good as well. the options are endless. Enjoy and Eat up!
