Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 399kcal
Ingredients
- 3 lb chuck roast
- 1 cup reduced sodium beef broth
- 1 (0.6 oz) packet Italian dressing seasoning mix
- 1 Tbsp dried oregano
- 1 Tbsp dried basil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers
- 1 cup giardiniera drained
Instructions
Prepare
- Add the roast and broth to the insert of a 6 quart or larger slow cooker.
Mix seasonings
- In a small mixing bowl, add the Italian dressing seasoning mix, oregano, basil, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir to combine well.
Season beef
- Rub seasonings into the roast, on all sides.
- Top roast with pepperoncini peppers and drained giardiniera.
Cook
- Cover and cook on LOW for 8-10 hours. You can cook this on high for about 4-5 hours, but for the most tender beef, I highly recommend cooking on low.
Shred
- Use tongs to remove the beef from the slow cooker and place on a plate (or a bowl), and shred using two forks.
- Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir.
Serve
- Serve shredded beef on a hoagie roll, topped with some additional pepperoncini peppers and drained giardiniera. Add some of the cooking liquid to a small bowl for dipping if desired.
Notes
- I've estimated this recipe serves 8, but you're free to divide it up into as many servings as you'd like.
