Ingredients

  • 3 pound top round roast I used boneless
  • 1 envelope Italian dressing seasoning mix
  • 1 jar mild pepper rings (don't drain) 16 ounce
  • giardiniera and french rolls for serving

Instructions

  • In a large slow cooker, place roast in the bottom.
  • Sprinkle the italian dressing seasoning mix over the top of the roast.
  • Pour the whole jar of pepper rings with juice over the roast.
  • Cover crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  • When ready to serve, use two forks and shred beef, or place on a cutting board and slice the beef thin. Serve on a french roll with giardiniera. ENJOY

Notes

  • Put the roast in the slow cooker with the fat side up. If you prefer, you can also trim the fat first.
  • Sprinkle the Italian seasoning over the meat before adding peppers for best flavor.
  • Do NOT drain the liquid from the peppers! It adds delicious flavor and moisture to the beef.
  • Can I use chuck roast in this recipe? Yes, both chuck roast and top roast are delicious in this slow cooker recipe.
  • How do you store leftover Italian beef? Transfer leftovers to an airtight container. Store in the fridge and enjoy reheated within 3 days.
