Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Dry Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 12 ounces Jarred pepperoncini peppers with juice
- 3 large Carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 large White onion, sliced
Instructions
Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, sear the beef on all sides until a golden brown crust forms, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
In a slow cooker, pour the beef broth and stir in the dry Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
Add the seared beef into the slow cooker, then pour the jar of pepperoncini peppers along with their juice on top. Spread the sliced onion and carrots around the beef.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and easily shreds.
Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker to soak up the juices for another 15-20 minutes.
Serve the Italian beef on toasted rolls for sandwiches or alongside a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
