Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 1 packet Dry Italian dressing mix
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, sliced
- 1 jar (16 ounces) Pepperoncini peppers
- 1 cup Pepperoncini juice
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 8 slices Provolone cheese slices
- 8 Hoagie rolls
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast.
Place the roast in the bottom of a large crock pot.
In a medium bowl, combine beef broth, dry Italian dressing mix, minced garlic, oregano, basil, and ground black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Pour the mixture over the beef roast in the crock pot.
Add the sliced onion around the beef roast.
Drain the jar of pepperoncini peppers, reserving 1 cup of the juice. Add the peppers to the crock pot along with their reserved juice.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or on high heat for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Once the beef is cooked, use two forks to shred the meat directly in the crock pot. Stir the shredded beef to absorb the juices and flavors.
If desired, toast the hoagie rolls under a broiler for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
To assemble the sandwiches, spoon the shredded Italian beef onto the toasted hoagie rolls. Top with a slice of provolone cheese and, if desired, additional pepperoncini peppers.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Italian beef sandwiches!
