Italian Beef (Slow Cooker)


 Italian Beef (slow cooker)




This crockpot recipe is FULL of flavor and very easy to make! I served it on a toasted bun with melty provolone cheese slices, so delicious and filling! You could also serve this over mashed potatoes and it would be great. 
















Ingredients  

  • 2.5-5 pound chuck roast
  • 1-2 teaspoons sea salt 
  • 1-2 teaspoons ground pepper
  • 2-3 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 bay leaf
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 package Italian-style salad dressing mix (dry)
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ cup pepperoncini juice
  • sub rolls, optional for serving
  • provolone, optional for serving

Instructions

  • Rub the roast with about a teaspoon or 2 each of salt and pepper and sear on all sides (I used canola oil on med-high for about 2-3 minutes per side). Transfer the roast to a slow cooker.
  • In large bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients:
    • 2 teaspoons sea salt, 
    • 2-3cups beef broth
    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
    • 1 teaspoon dried basil
    • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 bay leaf
    • ¼ cup light brown sugar
    • package Italian-style salad dressing
    • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
    • 1/2 cup pepperoncini juice
  • Pour over the roast and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or high for 4 to 5 hours.
  • With an hour left in the cooking process, remove the bay leaf and shred the meat, let cook for the remaining hour.
  • Enjoy as a sandwich with provolone cheese on a sub roll or over mashed potatoes.
