Shred the beef with two forks, discarding fat.
- 04
Reserve 1/2 cup of the broth from the slow cooker.
- 05
Combine the vinegar, brown sugar, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce and ketchup. Next stir in the salt, pepper, cayenne, and garlic. Mix well and stir into shredded beef so that the meat is coated well.

If additional broth is needed for more liquid add the reserved broth as needed and let cook for an additional 15-20 minutes to warm the broth through.
