Description

Savory slow-cooked chuck roast sandwiches infused with pepperoncini tang, perfect for feeding a crowd.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pounds chuck roast or rump roast, trimmed of excess fat
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced into rings or half-moons
  • 1 packet Italian dressing mix (0.7 ounces)
  • 16 ounces sliced pepperoncini peppers with juice
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 12 hoagie rolls or 24 slider rolls
  • Spicy giardiniera or pickled vegetables for serving, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the roast to the pan and cook without turning until browned on one side.
  2. Flip the roast and brown the other side.
  3. Place onion in the bottom of a 6 QT slow cooker. Place the browned roast on top of the onions.
  4. Sprinkle with Italian dressing and seasoning.
  5. Add broth and pepperoncini peppers with 1/2 cup of the juices.
  6. Cook on high for 5-6 hours or on low for 9-10 hours until the beef is very tender.
  7. Shred the beef using forks and return to the juices. Allow to cook an additional 20 minutes.
  8. Serve over rolls and top with pickled vegetables or peppers.

Notes

For best flavor, toast rolls lightly before serving to prevent sogginess.
