Ingredients

Rumba® Beef Neck Bones (1 package)
1 sprig fresh thyme
2 celery stalks, sliced
1 carrot, sliced
Salt, to taste
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
2 Chilean sandwich rolls (or other sandwich rolls), sliced for sandwiches
3 tablespoon Mayonnaise
1 Tomato, sliced
Lettuce leaves, as needed
1 White onion
2-3 cups cold water, as needed
½ teaspoon Granulated sugar
Hot chili paste (optional)
¼ cup oil for frying, divided

Instructions

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a heavy skillet; add beef neck bones and fry for 1 minute per each side.
Place beef neck bones in a slow cooker. Add celery, carrots, thyme, oregano, salt and cold water to cover.
Cover crockpot and cook for 4 hours until meat is tender and internal temperature of beef reaches 160°F.
Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove neck bones from cooking liquid; shred meat and reserve.
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a heavy skillet. Add onions and fry for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in sugar and cook an additional 5 minutes.
For sandwiches: Spread mayonnaise on cut sides of sandwich rolls. Layer shredded neck bone meat evenly on bottom halves of rolls. Top evenly with fried onions, tomato slices and lettuce. Close with top halves of sandwich rolls.
Serve with hot chili sauce.
