Description

A delicious slow-cooked Italian beef recipe perfect for hoagie sandwiches.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds chuck roast
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Trim excess fat off the chuck roast and cut it into large chunks, around 2-3 inches in size.
  2. Add some oil to a large pot or Dutch oven and place over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chuck roast and sear on all sides until a crust forms. Once browned, remove the meat from the pot.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the same pot and sauté until fragrant. Return the seared beef and the beef broth. Add the bay leaves, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, and stir well.
  4. Bring the liquid to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 3 hours or until the meat is fork tender.
  5. Once the meat is tender, remove it from the pot and shred it with two forks. Return back to the pot and simmer for another 10 minutes.
  6. Once cooked, assemble into hoagie rolls with provolone cheese, sliced pepper rings, and pickles.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider adding sliced onions or bell peppers to the pot during cooking.
  • Serve with extra broth on the side for dipping.
