Instructions
- Place Beef in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2-2.5 hours, or until very tender.

- Stir in Crushed Tomatoes, Beef Broth, Italian Seasoning, Dried Oregano, Red Pepper Flakes, Salt, and Black Pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once beef is cooked, let it cool slightly. Shred the beef using two forks.
- Add the shredded beef to the Sauce and simmer for another 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
