Italian Beef

I apologize that it has been so long since I have posted a recipe! I recently started back to work full-time and I have been swamped! Here is the recipe for Italian Beef in the crockpot, which is a family favorite :)

Ingredients:

- Beef Roast (eye of round or chuck are good) ~ 4lbs
- 2 Beef bouillon cubes
- 1 jar of pepperoncinis (do not get rid of the juice!!)
- Italian Seasoning
- Salt and Pepper
- Onion

Step 1: Cut the roast into ~ 3 pieces and lay in your crockpot.


Step 2: In a small bowl mix together about 2 Tablespoons of Italian Seasoning and a pinch or 2 of salt and pepper. You can adjust the seasoning either way depending on your taste.


Step 3: If you were unlucky like me and could only find jars of whole pepperoncinnis, then pour the juice into a bowl (DO NOT THROW IT OUT!). Then remove the stems from the top and slice the up the peppers. Throw the stems away.


Step 4: Add your bouillion cubes to the seasoning bowl.


Step 5: Slice up about 1/2 to a whole white onion and place over the roast.


Step 6: Sprinkle your seasoning and cubes over the top.


Step 7: Pour in the reserved pepper juice. Also, it's not in the photo, but you will need to add in some water. I added about 3 cups, but basically enough so that the liquid is just at the top of the meat.


Step 8: Add in the sliced peppers.


Step 9: Cook it on low for about 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours. Once cooked, shred the meat up and return it to the crockpot. Let this sit in the juices for about 20-30 minutes before serving.


We love to eat this on homemade buns, but it can also be eaten without the bread as well.

ENJOY!
