Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large Onion, sliced
- 10 pieces Pepperoncini peppers
- 1 cup Pepperoncini juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Bay leaves
- 6 pieces Hoagie rolls or sandwich buns (optional)

Instructions
Place the beef chuck roast in the bottom of your crock pot.
Pour the beef broth and pepperoncini juice over the roast.
Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper evenly over the meat.
Add the sliced onion, pepperoncini peppers, and bay leaves to the crock pot, distributing them around the roast.
Cover the crock pot with the lid. Cook on low for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the bay leaves and discard them. Shred the beef directly in the crock pot using two forks, mixing it with the juices.
Serve the Italian beef hot on hoagie rolls or sandwich buns, topped with provolone cheese if desired. Alternatively, serve it over mashed potatoes, polenta, or rice as a hearty main course.
