Barbequed Beef/Oregano

 

Herbs and Butters

 

3   tablespoons vegetable oil

1   3-pound sirloin tip roast

 

Preheat oven to 325-degrees.  In a large skillet, brown roast on all sides.  Place in a roasting pan and cover.  Bake for 1 ½ to 2 hours or until well done.  When meat is cool enough to handle, pull apart into strands.  Cut strands into 1-inch pieces.  Add to prepared sauce and simmer for 30 minutes.  Serve on hoagie buns. 

 

Sauce

1   tablespoon vegetable oil

1   cup chopped sweet yellow onion

1   14-ounce bottle tangy ketchup

1   12-ounce bottle chili sauce

¼  cup apple cider vinegar

¼  cup molasses

2   tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1   teaspoon fresh ground pepper

2   cups water

¼  cup fresh Oregano leaves

 

Sauté onion until translucent.  Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 25 minutes. Pour over meat.  Add oregano leaves the last 10 minutes of cooking time. 

 

*Harvest and preparation of Oregano – For fresh use, harvest before flowering.  Cut early in the morning, just after the dew has evaporated and before the sun is hot.  Place stems in a colander and rinse under cold running water.  Pat dry with paper towels.  Remove leaves from tough stems.
