Description

Slow-cooked Italian beef sandwiches made with tender chuck roast and served with flavorful toppings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lb chuck roast (trimmed of large pieces of fat then cut into large pieces)
  • 1 envelope Italian salad dressing mix
  • 8 oz pepperoncini pepper slices + splash of juice (plus extra peppers for serving)
  • 8 oz Chicago-Style Giardiniera (drained, plus extra for serving)
  • 14 oz can beef broth
  • provolone cheese slices
  • buns

Instructions

  1. Place chuck roast into the bottom of a 6 quart crock pot then sprinkle with salad dressing mix.
  2. Add pepperoncini peppers plus a splash of juice, drained Giardiniera, and beef broth then lift up chuck roast pieces to get broth underneath.
  3. Place a lid on top then cook on low for 9 hours, or until meat shreds easily with a fork.
  4. Shred then place meat back into juices inside crock pot and cook on low for 1 more hour.
  5. Split buns in half then scoop the shredded meat mixture on top and add provolone cheese slices (if using gluten free buns, toast/broil first).
  6. Top with additional pepperoncini peppers and Giardiniera, if desired, then serve.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, feel free to add more pepperoncini.
  • Gluten-free options are available; ensure buns are gluten-free.
