Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 4 cups Beef broth
• 8 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Hot giardiniera (Italian pickled vegetables)
• 1 cup Spicy pepperoncini peppers, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 6 pieces Hoagie rolls
• 6 slices Provolone cheese slices
• 2 tablespoons Butter, softened

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef chuck roast on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 2

Transfer the beef to a large slow cooker.

Step 3

In a bowl, combine beef broth, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Pour the mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.

Step 4

Add hot giardiniera and sliced pepperoncini peppers to the slow cooker, distributing them evenly around the beef.

Step 5

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or on high heat for 4 hours, until the beef is fall-apart tender.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the beef and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and mix well with the juices.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 8

Spread softened butter on the inside of each hoagie roll. Place the rolls on a baking sheet, buttered side up, and toast in the oven for 5 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the rolls from the oven and layer each with a generous portion of shredded beef, followed by a slice of provolone cheese.

Step 10

Return the assembled sandwiches to the oven for another 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Step 11

Serve the sandwiches hot, optionally with extra giardiniera or pepperoncini on the side for added heat and crunch.
