Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Beef chuck roast
- 2 packets Dry Italian salad dressing mix
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 8 Pepperoncini peppers
- 1 cup Pepperoncini juice (from the jar)
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Onion, thinly sliced
- 6 Sub rolls or hoagie rolls
- 6 Provolone cheese slices
- 1 cup Giardiniera (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Trim excess fat from the beef chuck roast. Place the roast into a 6-quart slow cooker.
Sprinkle the dry Italian salad dressing mix evenly over the roast.
Pour the beef broth and pepperoncini juice around the sides of the meat in the slow cooker, keeping the seasoning on top intact if possible.
Add the minced garlic, sliced onion, and pepperoncini peppers around the roast in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender enough to shred easily with a fork.
Once the beef is cooked, shred it using two forks and mix it with the juices in the slow cooker.
Preheat your broiler. Split the sub rolls and place them open-faced on a baking sheet.
Pile the shredded Italian beef onto each roll and top with a slice of provolone cheese.
Broil for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully as it can burn easily.
Optional: Top each sandwich with a spoonful of giardiniera for extra tang and crunch.
Serve warm and enjoy!
