This is one of my family's favorites! You can also make this recipe in a crock pot, cooking on low for 6-8 hours. Be sure to brown the beef prior to placing in the crock pot. Also can double for a large crowd.

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds beef chuck roast, boneless
  • 6 - beef bouillon, cubes
  • 6 cups very hot water
  • 6 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons italian seasoning
  • Dash - garlic salt

How To Make italian beef

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Heat a 12 inch skillet over high heat. Brown beef roast on all sides.
  • Step 2
    In a large dutch oven or roaster (with a lid) combine water and bouillon cubes, making sure to dissolve bouillon. Add spices and sugar, mixing to combine.
  • Step 3
    Add roast to dutch oven, cover with foil and then the lid. Roast in oven 3-4 hours, until beef is tender and can be shredded apart with a fork. Place shredded meat back in the juice for a couple minutes. Serve on hard rolls with provolone cheese (putting cheese on bottom of the bun helps keep it from soaking in a bit). Some also like to eat with horseradish.
