Notes
- eason the roast with pepper (no need to salt it as there will be plenty of salt in the seasoning packets already). Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the oil. Brown the roast on all sides in the hot oil, then transfer to a large slow cooker and add remaining ingredients.
- Sandwiches: Serve on buttered, toasted ciabatta rolls spread with a thin layer of mayonnaise along with sliced provolone cheese melted on top of the shredded meat under the broiler.
- Optional sear: If desired, you can season the roast with pepper (no need to salt it as there will be plenty of salt in the seasoning packets already). Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the oil. Brown the roast on all sides in the hot oil, then transfer to a large slow cooker and add remaining ingredients.
