Notes
Chef's Tips:
• For best results, let the beef rest in the sauce for 30 minutes after cooking before shredding
• Avoid over-shredding the beef to maintain texture
• Serve on buns for a classic BBQ sandwich or over rice for a different twist
Food Safety:
• Ensure the beef reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) before serving
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator within two hours of cooking
