Is it easier/better to shred meat before or after it's cooked? I want to serve shredded meat (steak) in a pita bread with vegetables. I want to put a sauce in the meat. Can you recommend a homemade sauce that would be good with it please? Thank you!

I make this with BBQ sauce. I usually cook the meat without sauce, shred and cook again in the sauce for maybe 20 minutes or so. I also do this with a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. It's a favorite dinner around here.

I do slow cooked brisket in homemade bbq sauce.
It is my new obsession.

If I don't have a fleishig shredder, the only way to do it is with a knife, right?!
Thanks, btw!

I suggest you cook the meat first. If you slowcook either covered or smothered with sauce/gravy for a long time, it would be fork-tender. Much easier to shred that way.

cook it in sauce until very soft.
then take a fork in each hand, and dig them into both sides of the meat, and pull.
you will be able to easily shred the meat. it basically shreds itself.

Shredded meat:
2 lbs meat of your choice
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 onion, sliced
2 Tbsp. Onion soup mix
5 cloves garlic
3/4 cup ketchup
1/8 cup beer
Cook meat, topped with onions and sauce, in show cooker for 8-10 hours on low (our 5 hours on low). Remove meat and shred with a fork. Strain liquid and pour back half the liquid. Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes. Spoon into baguettes.

Something that can withstand long slow cooking. I would use brisket. Or neck fillet if using lamb. No sense using an expensive cut of meat.

It is! I've been making brisket in my slow cooker (using the variation of Emeril Lagasse's recipe on
Smitten Kitchen) and the parts that don't slice so nicely turn into pulled beef sandwiches for supper. Buy the freshly baked baguettes that are available in some boro park groceries and you'll have a really delicious supper.

I used this sauce recipe. I cooked it covered well on a low flame in the oven for a few hours. I tried to shred it with a fork, but it didn't work, so I used my hands . Thank you everybody!!

Depending on the size of meat, but I usually cook at least 4-5hours (for 1.2-1.5kg brisket) for easy slicing but before it gets shreddy. A few hours would not be enough. But so long as it's cooked and you can shred anyway, it should be ok. Enjoy

I do this mainly with chicken in the crockpot. I either do BBQ sauce on buns or Mexican spices for chicken tacos. I cant bring myself to do with it roast or brisket since they are pricey even though I eye the KBD recipe for BBQ beef sandwiches all the time.
