  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 packet Italian dressing mix
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
  • 1 jar (16 ounces) pepperoncini peppers, with juice

For the Sandwich:

  • 6 to 8 hoagie rolls or Italian sandwich rolls
  • 1 cup giardiniera, drained
  • 1 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Place beef chuck roast in the crockpot.
  • In a bowl, mix beef broth, water, Italian dressing mix, au jus gravy mix, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Pour over the beef.
  • Add the pepperoncini peppers with their juice to the crockpot.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shredded.
  • Shred the beef in the crockpot using two forks and mix it well with the juices.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Split the hoagie rolls and brush the insides with melted butter and garlic powder.
  • Toast the rolls in the oven for 5-7 minutes until lightly crispy.
  • Assemble the sandwiches by placing shredded beef on the rolls. Top with giardiniera, roasted red peppers, and shredded cheese (if using).
  • Place the sandwiches back in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese melts, if using.
  • Serve hot and enjoy

Notes

  • For a spicier sandwich, add more red pepper flakes or hot giardiniera.
  • Leftover beef can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for later use.
