Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Dry Italian seasoning mix
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
• 1 cup Giardiniera (mild or hot, drained and chopped)
• 1 cup Roasted red bell peppers (sliced)
• 6 pieces Hoagie rolls or French rolls
• 6 slices Provolone cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast.

Step 2

In a slow cooker, add the beef broth, dry Italian seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.

Step 3

Place the beef chuck roast into the slow cooker and spoon some of the broth mixture over it to coat.

Step 4

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the beef is incredibly tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Once cooked, remove the beef from the cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker to soak in the juices for 30 additional minutes.

Step 6

Add the chopped giardiniera and roasted red bell peppers into the slow cooker and stir to combine.

Step 7

Toast the hoagie or French rolls on a griddle or in the oven until slightly crispy.

Step 8

Using tongs, pile the Italian beef onto the toasted rolls and, if desired, top with provolone cheese.

Step 9

Serve warm with extra juices on the side for dipping, and enjoy your Chicago-style Italian beef sandwiches!
