SLOW COOKER ITALIAN CHUCK ROAST WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS
Slow-cooked Italian beef for sandwiches. Provolone, Swiss, and Cheddar cheese are all delicious with this. My kids had hot Italian sandwiches on hoagies; I prefer mine over veggies like spaghetti squash or zoodles. Really, any veggies would work, as would mashed potatoes, rice, or grits. Don't forget to add the cheese on top if you're not doing sandwiches...it's absolutely heavenly without the bread, as well.

GRILLED ITALIAN CHUCK ROAST WITH VEGETABLES
My friend, Kendra, who enjoys cooking, needlecrafting, helping the homeless, and shuffleboard gave me this and said it is really a nice roast to grill when it is too hot to turn on the oven. Notice that you need to marinate it the night before, I have not included the marinading time in the preparation time. Because charcoal grilling varies with temperature of coals, size of grill, weight of meat, etc. I urge you to use your meat thermometer to get it to your own family's preference.

Steps:
- Pierce beef several times and put into ziplock bag; dump in the Italian dressing and first sliced onion into bag.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
- Prepare the grill for medium heat.
- Drain marinade from beef and put roast onto grill rack; discard marinade and first onion.
- Grill roast at MEDIUM on grate, hood down, until beef is well seared, about 20 minutes, turning over at least once.
- Meanwhile prepare a large aluminum roasting pan lined with foil large enough that later you can cover the meat).
- Place the seared meat into that foil container, sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
- Pierce the potatoes.
- Arrange potatoes, second onion, and carrots around meat.
- In a small bowl, mix beef broth, garlic, pepper, and rosemary); pour this over the meat and vegetables.
- Cover all with foil.
- Grill covered at MEDIUM heat until roast is tender, possibly up to 1 1/2 hours. Recently, made a 2 1/4 pound roast and it only took 1 hour and 15 minutes after the initial searing. Use your meat thermometer to gauge doneness level I would start checking after 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Allow resting time of 10 minutes.
