INGREDIENTS
4 lbs. Bottom round( or other cheaper cut of beef)
2 T. Coarse ground fennel
4 Bay leaves, crushed
6 cloves garlic, crushed
2 T. dried parsley
1/4 t. hot dried red pepper flakes
2 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
8 T. water



DIRECTIONS
Put all ingredients into a crock pot on low heat for 8-10 hours, or until the meat falls apart, or can be pulled apart. Be sure to remove the extra fat before shredding.

I usually shred the meat then let it set for a while longer so the meat absorbs the extra flavor.
