Ingredients
8 servings
- •4 lbs Beef Rump Roast, Boneless
- •2 cup Low Sodium Beef Broth
Instructions
- 1Cut the beef rump roast into 3-inch chunks, ensuring even sizing for consistent cooking.
- 2Heat the low sodium beef broth in a large pot over medium-high heat until it reaches a gentle boil, about 5–8 minutes.
- 3Add the beef chunks to the boiling broth, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 90–120 minutes, until the meat is fork-tender and shreds easily with slight pressure.
- 4Remove the beef from the cooking liquid using a slotted spoon and place in a large bowl. Using two forks, shred the beef into bite-sized pieces by pulling the forks in opposite directions.
- 5Reserve 2 cups of the cooking liquid. Divide the shredded beef evenly into 8 airtight containers (approximately 1 cup per container) while still warm, then pour ¼ cup of reserved cooking liquid over the beef in each container to prevent drying.
- 6Allow the containers to cool to room temperature, uncovered, for about 20–30 minutes, then cover and refrigerate until completely cold before freezing.
- 7Label each container with the contents and today's date before freezing for up to three months.
- 8To reheat, transfer the frozen container to a pot over medium-low heat for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully thawed and heated through to 165°F. Strain the beef from liquid and season as needed for your recipe.
