Categories     Sandwiches

Time 10h20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

5-6 lb boneless chuck roast, trimmed of fat
5 onions, yellow, medium, peeled and sliced
3 c low sodium beef broth
2 pkg dry zesty italian salad dressing
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 Tbsp garlic powder (or 3 chopped garlic cloves)
1 1/2 Tbsp italian seasoning
1/2 c chopped pepperoncini w/liquid

Steps:

  • 1. Put everything in a crock pot on LOW for 8 hours.
  • 2. At the end of 8 hours, remove and shred the beef. Put back in crock pot for another 1.5-2 hours.
  • 3. Taste broth and correct for salt/seasonings. (There is a lot of salt in the dry dressing). Looking for very savory flavor. If desired, add an additional 2 sliced onions (gives good texture to the sandwich)at this step.
  • 4. After a full 10 hours, get your toasted buns and roasted red peppers and/or hot peppers and build the best Chicago style Italian beef sandwich this side of the Mississippi (am on the East Coast).
  • 5. Some people like to put this on sub rolls, top w/provolone and run under the broiler... oh yeah, its that good. Enjoy!
