Description
Prepare tender, flavorful Italian beef using a slow cooker for easy weeknight meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lb beef chuck roast
- 1 packet (1 oz) dry Italian salad dressing mix
- 1 packet (0.25 oz) dry ranch dressing mix
- 1 (14.5 oz) can beef broth
- 1 (12 oz) jar sliced pepperoncini peppers, undrained
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 12 sandwich rolls
Instructions
- Place the beef roast in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Italian dressing mix, ranch dressing mix, beef broth, pepperoncini peppers (with juice), water, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
- Pour the liquid mixture over the beef roast.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the beef is easily shredded.
- Remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
- Return the shredded beef to the liquid in the slow cooker and stir to coat. Let it sit for 15 minutes to absorb more flavor.

Notes
- For extra flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped onion to the slow cooker before cooking.
- Drain some of the excess liquid before serving if the mixture seems too wet for your preference.
