Directions

Season steak all over with salt, pepper and chili powder. Brown in lightly oiled Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, combine tomatoes, onion soup mix, barbecue sauce and beer (or 1/2 cup water). Pour over steak.

Cover and simmer on stove top or in 325°F (160°C) oven until fork-tender, about 1-1/4 to 2 hours (OR cook in slow cooker on LOW setting for 6 to 8 hours).

Remove steak from pot and keep warm. Skim fat from sauce and season to taste. Serve as ‘pulled beef’ by shredding with 2 forks. Serve with sauce, tucked into tacos or flour tortillas if desired.
