TIPS
For Shredded Beef:
Season sirloin steak with salt and pepper and place in a slow cooker and cook until very tender. You can do this a day before.
Store the cooked meat and container of meat juices in the refrigerator overnight, and then shredded the meat and removed the fat from the meat juices on the day of making the tinga.
You may use any type of beef you like
