Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and place it in a slow cooker.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine beef broth, dry Italian salad dressing mix, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.

Step 3

Pour the mixture over the beef in the slow cooker, ensuring the beef is fully coated.

Step 4

Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shreddable.

Step 5

Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and mix it with the cooking juices.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 7

Slice the Italian sandwich rolls lengthwise and place them on a baking sheet, open-faced.

Step 8

Place a slice of provolone cheese on each roll and bake for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the rolls are slightly toasted.

Step 9

Remove the rolls from the oven and pile the shredded beef onto the bottom half of each roll. Top with giardiniera if desired.

Step 10

Serve the sandwiches immediately, either open-faced or with the top half of the roll placed over the filling.
