ingredients
- 6 garlic cloves, cut into slivers
- 3 -4 lbs boneless chuck roast, well marbled
- 1 cup water
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 8 hero rolls or 4 lengths Italian bread
directions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Use a small knife to insert the garlic slivers into the roast all over.
- Put the water in a deep baking pan not much larger than the roast. Add the roast and seasonings.
- Cover tightly and bake 2 hours, basting 3 or 4 times, adding water if necessary to keep plenty of juice in the pan.
- Remove the beef from the pan and allow it to settle. With an extremely sharp knife, slice it into razor-thin pieces.
- Degrease the pan and taste the gravy. It should be highly seasoned with a pepper bite. Adjust the seasonings to taste and place the sliced beef in the gravy. Allow it to wallow at least 15-20 minutes before serving.
- Serve on lengths of Italian bread with roasted peppers or spicy giardiniera.
