Ingredients:

  • 1 (3 to 4 1/2 lbs) beef roast, trimmed (chuck works great)
  • 1 can (12 ounces) beer (you choose the flavor), or use 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 1 envelope dry Italian salad dressing mix
  • 1 12-oz. jar Pepperoncini peppers, with the liquid
  • Hard Rolls, Bulkie Rolls, French Bread, etc.

Preparation:

Pour beer into crock pot. Drain liquid from pepperoncini into crockpot. Stir in the salad dressing mix until well-blended. Place about half of the peppers in the crockpot. Trim fat from the roast; place in crock pot on top of peppers. Top roast with remaining peppers. Cook Italian beef on low 8 to 10 hours Remove cooked roast from crockpot; cool slightly. While still warm, pull roast with two forks to shred. To serve, ladle small amount of warm liquid from crock over split roll or bread, top with shredded beef, then follow with more beef liquid as desired.

Great Recipe!, Member martimiller

I actually came across this recipe a few years ago and have made it numerous times since then. The combination of the Italian seasoning with the beer and the peppers makes for an incredibly savory seasoning for the beef, which completely pulls apart when fully cooked. I've made this recipe many times as written, but we've also spiced things up a bit by adding more pepperoncini or jalepenos to the pot. We've scaled this recipe for a dinner for 4 (although, we always make 6 servings with no leftovers) all the way up to potluck size. It's always a HUGE hit with family & friends - and super easy.
