My husband's family always made Italian beef for family get togethers. I put this recipe together a lot of years ago when trying to make the perfect Italian beef for his family. This one became my go to recipe from then on! The flavor is delicious! I like to serve it on toasted hoagie buns with melted mozzarella over the top. You could top your Italian beef with giardiniera if you like, as is a traditional topping for this dish.

How To Make italian beef

Step 1

Place roast in slow cooker. In a pot combine water with wine, Italian dressing, salt, ground black pepper, Italian seasoning, onion powder, parsley, garlic, bay leaf, and green pepper. Stir well and pour over roast.

Step 2

Cover slow cooker and cook on Low for 12 hours or until beef is tender enough to easily shred with a fork. When done, remove bay leaf, and shred meat with a fork.
Step 3

If there is a lot of liquid, drain some off and set aside. Serve as a dip for sandwiches or extra sauce to spoon over meat.
Step 4

I serve this on toasted hoagie buns with melted mozzarella over the top.
