Nuggets Along the Trail: 10-10-13 Crockpot Marinated Roast Beef Sandwiches

Over the years, we've always compared our family life to a wagon train heading west. Just as everyone had to do his part to get to Oregon years ago, so everyone in our family must do his/her part to make our journey through life successful. If somebody climbs in the wagon and lets the others do the work, we just don't make any progress. We all have to pull our weight and work together. Along the trail we find lots of pebbles that make for a smooth ride and some bigger rocks that jar us a little; we hit the occasional pothole that can slow us down. But if we purpose to search diligently, there are countless gold nuggets and precious gemstones along the way as well. This journal is an attempt to preserve some of those precious moments for our children, and our children's children, as together we travel this trail called life.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11

10-10-13 Crockpot Marinated Roast Beef Sandwiches

4# beef roast

1/2 cup diced green pepper

1/2 cup diced onion

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

1/2 teaspoon onion salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Place roast in crockpot; top with green peppers and onions. Mix all other ingredients, pour over roast. Cook on hi for a few hours; then turn to low for five or six more hours. About an hour before serving, remove roast from crockpot and shred. Return meat to crockpot and keep warm until ready to serve. Serve on buns.

This recipe came from a friend who got it from her mother-in-law. We’ve made a few adjustments over the years, and this recipe has become a favorite. It’s kind of like an Arby’s RB sandwich, especially when served with a slice of cheese and a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ.

Delicious!

Mmmm....this sounds really good! When you have a chance, could you possibly post the lettuce salad that you brought to Jim and Karol's this summer? Thanks!
