Tasty Pulled Beef

3-4 lb roast
1 bottle Italian dressing ( I just made mine from a packet)
1 pkg onion soup mix
2-3 cloves garlic, minced

Trim fat off roast, place in crockpot.
Combine dressing and soup mix. Once well combine add minced garlic.
Pour dressing over roast, turning roast to coat with dressing mixture.
Cook on low 8-10 hours. Turning once during cooking time.
Take roast out, and strain juices, reserving juice. ( I even stuck my "juice" in the freezer for a few minutes to get the fat to separate after I strained it) Shred roast with forks and return meat to crockpot. Pour desired amount of juice over meat, I used about a 1 1/2 cups. More or less depending on how juicy you want your meat.

We served it on buns with all the regular condiments. The next day I enjoyed it over rice with tomatoes.

I got this recipe from Kraft, and it is SOOO tasty. I can't wait to eat the leftovers for lunch! Things I do differently, I use powdered ginger instead of fresh and I just use a pinch. And if I don't want it to be too runny I let the pasta "cook" for just a minute after I add it too the broth mixture and it soaks it up nicely. Also a word about fish sauce, it is fairly inexpensive, but it is VERY smelly and unfortunately not in a good way. But it doesn't taste like it smells thank goodness! And it is great to use in pad thai too! This is a nice, fast and pretty healthy meal!
