Leah's Crock Pot Italian Beef Sammys

contributed by: Leah Steidl
*from iowagirleats.com

Ingredients:

  • 3 lb chuck roast, trimmed of visible fat and cut into large chunks (3 or 4)
  • 1 envelope Good Seasons Zesty Italian Salad Dressing Mix
  • 8oz pepperoncini pepper slices and splash of juice
  • 8oz Giardiniera (Chicago-Style Italian Sandwich Mix), drained
  • 14.5oz can of beef broth (I buy a 32 oz box and use a lot more than 14.5oz)
  • Provolone Cheese Slices
  • Hoagie buns

Instructions:

  1. Place chuck roast in the botton of 5.5-6 quart crock pot, sprinkle with dressing mix.  
  2. This is where I deviate from the recipe, I dump all the pepper slices and juices, all the giardineira stuff and add enough beef broth until my roast is covered completely.  This is how I find it tastes best.  If you’d like to follow the recipe, drain the two jars of stuff and only use 14.5oz of beef broth
  3. Cook on low for 9 hours
  4. Shred the meat, cook on low for another hour (it doesn’t need to, it just soaks up more of the” au jus” flavor.
  5. Split buns in half and create a nice little nest in the bun for the shredded meat mixture.  Serve with a side of au jus and enjoy!

*I make the sammys and put the cheese on them and broil them for a few seconds until cheese is melted at this point.

Notes from Kate: My husband is from Chicago and is obsessed with Italian Beef. Next time I make him do home improvement projects all weekend, maybe I'll make these as a thank you :)
