Description

These Tangy Beef BBQ Sandwiches feature tender, shredded beef tossed in a vibrant, zesty barbecue sauce with a touch of apple cider vinegar, served hot on soft burger buns. This easy-to-make dinner option delivers a delicious balance of juicy, sweet, and tangy flavors perfect for a quick weeknight meal or casual gathering.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs cooked shredded beef
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 4 burger buns


Instructions

  1. Heat the Beef and Sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the cooked shredded beef, BBQ sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Stir frequently and warm the mixture until it is heated through and slightly thickened, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Prepare Buns: While the beef is warming, lightly toast the burger buns if desired to add a slight crunch and warmth.
  3. Assemble Sandwiches: Spoon the hot, tangy BBQ beef generously onto each burger bun, ensuring each sandwich is well filled. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Top with coleslaw for added crunch and flavor contrast.
  • For extra heat, add a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture while warming.
  • Leftover sandwiches can be wrapped and refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
