Steps:
- 1. At the beginning of the day, place roast in large Crock Pot with chunked onions, garlic, pepper and Italian seasoning and about 2 cups of water, and the juice from the pepperocini peppers. I've sliced the meat in thin slices prior to cooking, but I like the texture of the meat when pulled apart, and less work.
- 2. Cook on med-low most of the day until the roast starts falling apart and will easily pull apart with a fork. 8-9 hours until meat pulls apart with a fork.
- 3. Remove meat from Crock Pot, saving all the drippings.
- 4. In seperate bowl, mix the gravy packets with the water as directed; put meat back in crock pot with the drippings, the gravy mix, stir well and let simmer about 1/2 hour.
- 5. Tear apart meat with forks (shredding) and put it into the pot as you are tearing apart the meat. Discard all fatty parts.
- 6. Once meat is in the juices (should thicken up with the gravy packets) let cook about another hour.
- 7. Serve on harder long rolls...I prefer a French type, crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. The bread soaks up the gravy. It's especially good with some shredded mozzarella or provolone on the sandwich... serve the pepperocinis on the side or in the sandwich.
- 8. *A little more flavorful version is to put in the peppers (stems removed) during the cooking process.
Tips:
- For the best Italian beef sandwiches, use a good quality roast. Look for a roast that is well-marbled and has a good amount of fat. This will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful as it cooks.
- Be sure to brown the roast before cooking it in the crock pot. This will help to develop flavor and color.
- Add plenty of vegetables to the crock pot. This will help to add flavor and nutrition to the sandwiches.
- Cook the roast on low heat for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender. This will ensure that the meat is cooked through and very flavorful.
- Serve the Italian beef sandwiches on toasted hoagie rolls with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include giardiniera, cheese, and horseradish sauce.
