Now that the beef is all cooked and delicious, it is time, of course, to remove it from the soup and throw it away.
HAHA, just kidding! Actually, you're meant to take all the meat out, and cut it into smaller, soup sized pieces. (I remembered to mention that the beef was originally cut into large chunks like for stew, right?).
Note:
To the authors of the "Crocker Cooker Cookbook - A guide to cooking with your CrockPot slow cooker apparatus": Thank you for reminding me that the meat, having been cooked for 12 hours straight, might be a tad hot to the touch. I was most touched by your advice, and am pleased to announce that none of my fingertips were overly singed in the processing of the cooked beef. Thank you.
