Italian Beef
My all-time favorite Italian Beef recipe!
Equipment
- Crock pot
Ingredients
- 1 6 lb chuck roast
- 3 large onions
- 4 tsp Italian Seasoning
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 2 cups water
- 2 bottles beer any brand
Instructions
- cut slits in the top of the chuck roast
- mix Italian Seasoning & minced garlic in a small bowl
- place Italian Seasoning/minced garlic in the slits
- chop onions
- place roast & onions in crock pot, add the water & 1 of the bottles of beer
- cook on low for 8 hours
- after the meat has cooked for 8 hours, remove from crock pot
- chill the roast over night, the next morning the fat will be ready to be removed from the broth
- After removing the fat, pour the liquid into the crock pot
- the roast can either be sliced or shredded. I sliced the roast for this recipe
- Add the roast and the 2nd bottle of beer to liquid in the crock pot.
- if desired, add extra Italian seasoning
- cook the sliced or shredded meat in the liquid on low for at least 4 hours or until heated through. Serve on hoagie buns.
Notes
If desired, serve pepperoncinis on the side. Some people like their Italian Beef to have more of a "bite". you can add pepperoncinis to the meat while it is cooking or add some of the pepperoncini juice to the liquid that you are cooking the meat in.
The Italian Beef sandwich can be served with extra au jus for dipping.
If you don't want to use a crock pot, the meat can be cooked in a roaster in the oven. If you use a roaster, make sure to fill the roaster 1/2 full with liquid and to cover the roast while it is cooking. Set oven to 350. cook until meat is tender
