Crock Pot Italian Beef Sandwiches
Description
This recipe slow cooks a large chuck or rump roast with sliced onions, Italian dressing seasoning, pepperoncini peppers, and beef broth in a crock pot. First, the beef is browned on both sides in oil to develop flavor and color. Then it is placed atop the onions in the slow cooker with the remaining ingredients and cooked on low or high until the meat is fork-tender and easily shredded.
The resulting shredded beef is infused with the bright acidity and mild heat from the pepperoncini while absorbing the aromatic Italian herbs. This makes a juicy, flavorful filling perfect for sandwiches.
The shredded beef is served piled high on hoagie or slider rolls and topped with giardiniera or other pickled vegetables for an added spicy and tangy crunch. These sandwiches work well for casual meals or gatherings where hands-on eating is welcome.
