Oh My! Better Than Grandma's Shredded Beef. It is possible.

1 3-4 lb roast
1/4 c. butter
1 onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic
1/2 c soy sauce
1 c cooking wine/sherry
4 c water

Heat butter in a heavy pot (ceramic dutch oven is best), add onions and cook until caramelized. Put roast on top of cooked onions. Add all the remaining ingredients. Put in oven at 350 degrees for 4-5 hours (or until the meat shreds). Shred the meat and let sit in the delicious juices.

Serve on French buns with melted mozzarella or provolone cheese. Use some of the juice for a awesome French dip.

(I made this for Ken, and he likes it better than any other sandwich he's had - including Grandmas. It's beyond amazing. And it would do great in the crock pot too. Made it before church and it was done when we got home. It was hard not to eat it right away since it was Fast Sunday. Super yummy and super easy.)
