Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Roasted red peppers, sliced
- 0.5 cup Pepperoncini peppers, sliced (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 slices Provolone cheese slices
- 4 Crusty sandwich rolls (e.g., hoagie or baguette)
Instructions
Place the beef chuck roast in the slow cooker.
Pour the beef broth over the roast.
Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper evenly over the meat.
Add the minced garlic, onion slices, roasted red peppers, and pepperoncini peppers (if using) on top of the roast.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the beef directly in the slow cooker. Mix it well with the juices and vegetables.
Preheat the oven broiler. Split the sandwich rolls in half and place them on a baking sheet.
Pile the shredded beef and vegetables onto the bottom halves of the rolls. Top each sandwich with 2 slices of provolone cheese.
Broil the sandwiches for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Remove from the oven and add the top halves of the rolls. Serve warm and enjoy!
