Italian Crockpot Beef is a tender slow-cooked shredded beef dish simmered in zesty Italian dressing and peppers, perfect for hearty sandwiches topped with melted provolone cheese.

  • Total Time: 6 hours 5 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 pounds boneless beef chuck eye roast
  • 1 cup zesty Italian dressing
  • 12 ounces sweet and hot salad peppers, undrained
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 6 to 8 sandwich buns
  • 6 to 8 slices provolone cheese

Instructions

  1. Place the beef chuck roast in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. Pour the Italian dressing evenly over the roast.
  3. Add half of the jar of sweet and hot salad peppers along with about half of the pepper juice.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for about 6 hours or HIGH for about 4 hours until the beef becomes tender.
  5. About one hour before the cooking time ends, carefully remove most of the liquid using a ladle.
  6. Use two forks to shred the beef directly in the slow cooker.
  7. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts into the meat.
  8. Cover and cook for another 30 to 60 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
  9. Place a portion of shredded beef on a sandwich bun.
  10. Top with a slice of provolone cheese and the reserved peppers.
  11. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Chuck roast works best because it becomes very tender when slow cooked.
  • Toasting the sandwich buns helps prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Pepperoncini peppers can be used for a tangier flavor.
  • The shredded beef can also be served over mashed potatoes or rice.
  • Leftovers reheat well and are great for meal prep.
