How To Make italian beef
-
Step 1Cut the roast into 3-4 piece and lightly salt and pepper the chuck roast. Turn the burner on and place a skillet large enough to hold the roast on that burner to get hot. When hot, coat with 2 tablespoons of oil. put the roast in the skillet and brown evenly on all sides about 2-3 minutes per side.
-
Step 2Transfer roast into the crock pot. Add the remaining ingredients, juices and all, to the crock pot. Put the lid on, turn it on low and cook for 6-7 hours or until the meat shreds easily with a fork.
-
Step 3Take out the roast and shred with two forks or bear claws. Place back in crock to cook for another 1/2 hour or so. I serve this on toasted loaves of French or Italian bread, cut into 6 inch sections. You can use hard roll (Chicago hard rolls, Kaiser rolls, etc). You can use French bread rolls, too. I also put a slice or two of provolone on the roll before I put the meat on.
