Description
A delicious and easy recipe for Italian Beef Sandwiches made with tender beef chuck roast, flavorful spices, and served on hoagie rolls.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup pepperoncini peppers, with juice
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 6 hoagie rolls
- Sliced provolone cheese (optional)
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper, then sear it in the skillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the roast and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- In a slow cooker, combine the seared beef, cooked onions, garlic, beef broth, pepperoncini peppers with their juice, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shredded.
- Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the juices.
- To serve, fill each hoagie roll with the shredded beef mixture. Top with sliced provolone cheese if desired and garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños along with the pepperoncini.
- Serve the sandwiches with a side of au jus for dipping, using the cooking liquid from the slow cooker.
