Brown beef in hot oil on both sides, adding onion and celery at the
last minute.  Combine beef, vegetables and broth in a Dutch oven or
crockpot.  Simmer, covered, for 3-4 hours or until tender.  Cool;
shred beef, separating into strands.  Drain vegetables.  Combine with
beef.  Reserve broth; skim off any fat.

To make sauce:  Mix broth, beef, vegetables, garlic, salt, catsup,
brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, chili powder, tabasco, bay leaf,
paprika, garlic powder, and worcestershire sauce.  Simmer until heated
thoroughly.  Remove bay leaf.
