What a surprising little recipe! I used 1/3 of the ingredients, since it is just the two of us. I also salted and peppered the meat at the start. I would NOT recommend the additional salt, as the Italian seasoning is salty enough. I simmered for 3 1/2 hours, covered for one of those hours to speed up the tenderizing process. Delicious. Be careful to watch the pot every 20 minutes or so, b/c the liquid does dry up and you risk burning the meat. When all is said and done, I ended up using 1 cup Carlo Rossi Paisano red wine, 3 1/2 cups of water, and an entire medium onion, which I heated with the meat and before adding the liquid. I served on toasted white bread. Next time, I will serve on rolls with fried peppers and sliced mushrooms. I thought it tasted fabulous as is; my husband thought it needed a kick and added Famous Dave's Devil's Spit BBQ sauce. Thanks for posting this keeper!

Out of this world delicious!! The flavor or the broth, burgundy wine and Italian dressing was scrumptious. I couldn't stop tasting it. The meat was very tender and easy to shred. I used toasted onion rolls to make the sandwiches with. Delicious! I just added a salad and a glass of merlot for the adults. Thanks for a great meal.

WOW. This is a total surprise recipe!!! I followed the recipe exactly making no changes. I love a recipe you can just throw altogether and basically forget about!! Delicious, the meat is soooo tender and tasty it just falls apart. I'm a bit miffed at myself , I made this tonight (it's just now done at 10:30 pm) so I'd have it made ahead for the week. Now I just want to sit and eat it! A most high 5 stars and this will be a DEFINITE repeat at our house!! Thanks Michelle, so much, for posting this winner of a recipe!!
