Crock Pot Spicy Beef

Note:  you can use pork in this recipe also

serves 8

marinade:

1 cup ketchup

3 TBSP cider vinegar

1/4 cup dijon mustard

1/3 cup prepared chili sauce

3 TBSP Worcestershire sauce

2 TBSP honey

1 TBSP soy sauce

scant 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

3 cloves garlic, minced

3 lbs sirloin, trimmed of fat

3/4 cup water

Directions:

In a medium sized saucepan make the marinade: combine marinade ingredients, bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium low and simmer for about 5 minutes.  Let cool to room temperature.

Put the beef in a large zippered top plastic bag with the marinade and let it sit at least 8 hours or overnight.

Remove the beef from the zip lock bag and place it in the slow cooker.  Pour the marinade into a small bowl, add the water and stir well.  Pour over the roast.  Cover and cook on low until the meat is fork tender, about 8 hours.

Serve with rice, on a roll, or on lettuce.
