What makes it so addictive
- Set it and forget it. The slow cooker does the work while your kitchen is filled with the most incredibly intense aromas.
- Drop bid. Thanks to its rich marbling and long, gentle boiling, it melts in your mouth with every bite.
- It offers a unique taste. Tangy pepperoncini and Italian herbs add bold, mouth-watering flavor to every inch of beef.
Slow Cooker Italian Beef Ingredients
- Chuck Roast: Use top round, bottom round, shoulder or chuck roast, but boneless chuck works best. The marbling breaks down beautifully, creating a texture that melts in your mouth.
- Shredding:For the best flavor, shred the beef, return to the pot and heat for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully infuse.
Slow Cooker Italian Beef Recipe
The secret to the best flavor of this Italian beef recipe is searing the beef. Roasting meat caramelizes the natural sugars and creates a brown crust that’s full of flavor! Don’t skip this step! Then let the slow cooker do the work!
- Seasonal and Seared Beef Sides: Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper. Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the seared meat and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms.
- Place in slow cooker: Place seared roast in a 5-quart slow cooker.
- Add the beef consommé, Italian dressing mix, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and pepperoncini to the slow cooker and top with a slice of butter.
- Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 5 to 6 hours. Shred the roast with a fork. Serve in hoagies topped with provolone cheese and additional pepperoncini, if desired.
