Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 1 packet Dry Italian dressing mix
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Onion, sliced
• 1 jar (16 ounces) Pepperoncini peppers
• 1 cup Pepperoncini juice
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 8 slices Provolone cheese slices
• 8 Hoagie rolls

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast.

Step 2

Place the roast in the bottom of a large crock pot.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine beef broth, dry Italian dressing mix, minced garlic, oregano, basil, and ground black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Pour the mixture over the beef roast in the crock pot.

Step 5

Add the sliced onion around the beef roast.

Step 6

Drain the jar of pepperoncini peppers, reserving 1 cup of the juice. Add the peppers to the crock pot along with their reserved juice.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or on high heat for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Step 8

Once the beef is cooked, use two forks to shred the meat directly in the crock pot. Stir the shredded beef to absorb the juices and flavors.

Step 9

If desired, toast the hoagie rolls under a broiler for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

Step 10

To assemble the sandwiches, spoon the shredded Italian beef onto the toasted hoagie rolls. Top with a slice of provolone cheese and, if desired, additional pepperoncini peppers.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Italian beef sandwiches!
