- 1/2 Tablespoon of seasoned salt
- 2 Tablespoons of dried rosemary

Directions
Put the seasonings in a pan and add 1/2 an inch of
water. Put the roast in the pan. Cook over a low flame, or in a 200 degree
oven, covered for 24 hours. You can also use a slow-coooker on low setting
(after 12 hours, you should put the lid on half way so the meat doesn't
have too much liquid.) Periodically—after 12 hours—take a fork
and break the meat apart. Serve with sourdough rolls and special mustards. Sylvia adds,“This
also makes an excellent filling for burritos.”
Notes
This was another potluck lunch favorite at CalArts. Everybody
in the office was happy, except maybe the vegetarian, when Sylvia told
us she was going to bring “The Beef.”
