Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 packet onion soup mix
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup pepperoncini peppers
  • 1/4 cup pepperoncini juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 sandwich buns
  • 4 slices provolone cheese

Instructions
  

Sear the Beef

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the beef chuck roast on all sides until a golden crust forms evenly.

Prepare the Slow Cooker

  • Place the seared beef into the slow cooker carefully. Make sure the meat sits in the center for even cooking and flavor absorption.

Add the Liquid Ingredients

  • Pour beef broth, soy sauce and pepperoncini juice over the beef. These liquids help create a rich and savory cooking sauce.

Add Seasonings

  • Sprinkle onion soup mix, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper over the beef. This step builds deep flavor while slow cooking.

Add Pepperoncini Peppers

  • Place pepperoncini peppers around the beef inside the slow cooker. They add a tangy and slightly spicy flavor to the shredded beef.

Slow Cook the Beef

  • Cover the slow cooker with the lid. Cook on low heat for about eight hours until the beef becomes soft and tender.

Shred the Beef

  • Remove the beef carefully from the slow cooker. Use two forks to shred it into thin juicy pieces while it is still hot.

Mix with Juices

  • Return the shredded beef into the slow cooker. Stir it gently so it absorbs all the rich cooking juices and flavors.

Serve in Sandwiches

  • Toast sandwich buns lightly. Add shredded beef and top with provolone cheese. Serve warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use chuck roast for best tenderness.
  • Sear beef for deeper flavor.
  • Cook on low heat for juicy texture.
  • Do not skip pepperoncini juice.
  • Shred beef while it is hot.
  • Add extra broth if needed.
  • Use fresh sandwich buns.
  • Melt cheese before serving.
  • Let beef rest before shredding.
