Ingredients

  • 3 pound chuck roast
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon dried minced onions
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers with juice (about 1/2 of a 16-ounce jar)
  • ½ cup low sodium beef broth
  • crusty rolls
  • provolone cheese

Instructions

  • Spray crockpot with non stick spray
  • Pat roast dry with paper towels, and place in bottom of slow cooker
  • Season with Italian seasoning, sea salt, garlic powder, onions and pepper
  • Pour beef broth around the meat, and top with pepperoncini peppers and small amount of juice
  • Place lid on crock pot, and cook for 4-5 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low
  • Shred beef -- you can do this on another plate or in slow cooker. Return meat to pot to simmer in juice until ready to serve
  • To make sandwiches, place sliced provolone cheese on both sides of a cut roll, add shredded beef, place on baking sheet, and bake in 350 degree oven until cheese melts. Top with additional pepperoncini and more juice, if desired

Notes

You can sear the roast prior to slow cooking if desired.
Sub Italian dressing mix for the seasoning blend if desired.
Total cook time depends on the brand and size of your slow cooker. If the meat is tough when you try to shred it, it needs to cook longer.
