Italian Beef

"We enjoy slicing the roast as for a traditional roast beef, but many enjoy it shredded and piled high on buns. Great flavor and your house will smell wonderful as it cooks."

  1. Very good. Made this in the crockpot (6-8 hours on low). As suggested, I shredded the beef and added garlic. Wonderful. A neighbor made this using pork and it was even better than the beef.
     
  2. this was excellent and did fill the house with great aromas!! i added three large heads of garlic (minced)-but i do that to almost all recipes. i'm thinking of trying this with a pork tenderloin and adding vegetable broth in place of the beef broth i'll bet that will be equally as good! thanks for the great recipe!!
     
  3. I made this tonight, and served it as a traditional pot roast, with mashed potatoes. I made it in the crockpot; let it cook all day on low. It was FANTASTIC!!!! Unfortunately, I discovered at the last minute, I didn't have a beer to add, so I just simply omitted it. It was still GREAT!!! I will definitely try the beer next time, but if you don't use alcohol, or just don't have the beer on hand, by all means make this recipe!!! I have considered my pot roast my specialty for awhile now; this blows my best efforts out of the water!!! An absolute keeper; thank you SO MUCH for sharing this recipe!
     
  4. Oh, yeah - this one is a definate winner! Really delicious! I also added some garlic (just had to). Makes the most fabulous sandwichs - everyone wanted the recipe.
     
  5. What a great recipe! This was the best pulled beef recipe I've ever made. My husband and daughter BOTH gave it an enthusiastic thumbs up. The Pepperoncinis are a perfect touch, as they mellow as they cook, and they don't leave the meat spicy. Even better the next day when the flavors are allowed to blend. This would be a WOMDERFUL potluck dish, made ahead of time and reheated just before serving! This one is a keeper!

  1. I've been making Italian beef sandwiches for years, but I've never added beer and have always used water in place of beef broth - not anymore - this was they way to do it!! Everyone loved 'em! Will be making again!
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Love to read. I collect books and have quite a collection but am always adding more. I have also discovered audio books and find that I am able to get through more books by listening to them. Have recently started knitting and I really enjoy it even if it is quite a challenge at times. Always searching for a great recipe in any food category. As might be expected I never find "The One" but find many delicious ones along the way. One of our favorite restaurants is Jensen's Supper Club located in Eagan, MN.
