Ingredients
- 1 (3-pound) beef chuck roast boneless, cut into 4 large portions and fat trimmed
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1 (.7-ounce) packet Italian salad dressing and recipe mix
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 (16-ounce) jar pepperoncini
- 8 tablespoons butter softened
- 8 deli-style sub rolls split open
- 8 ounces provolone cheese sliced
Directions
- In a slow cooker, add the beef pieces.
- In a large bowl, add the beef broth, the Italian salad dressing mix, and the Italian seasoning and whisk to combine.
- Evenly pour the broth mixture over the beef.
- Reserve 1/3 cup of the pepperoncini juice from the jar, then drain the rest.
- Remove and discard the pepperoncini stems, then cut the pepperoncini in half.
- Evenly sprinkle the pepperoncini over the beef, then drizzle with the reserved pepperoncini juice.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook the beef mixture until the meat is very tender and easy to shred, on high heat about 4-5 hours and on low heat about 8-10 hours.
- Use two forks to shred the beef mixture in the slow cooker.
- Preheat the oven to the broil setting.
- Evenly spread 1 tablespoon of the butter over each of the split sub rolls and place them on a baking sheet.
- Broil the sub rolls until they are lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
- Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack.
- Use tongs to evenly place the beef mixture in each of the toasted sub rolls, then top each with 1 slice of the provolone.
- Broil the sandwiches until the cheese has melted.
- Slice the sandwiches in half, if desired, and serve.
