Italian Beef is great on a sub roll with some
provolone, or simply as a side item. You'll need a crock pot, as
this takes all day to cook in order to properly tenderize the
beef.
Time Required: 15 minutes each
for prepping and shredding; 6-8 hours of
crocking
Skill Required: Minimal skills needed
Ingredients:
2-3
lbs of beef roast
Italian seasonings (parsley, basil, rosemary, oregano)
Salt,
pepper, garlic, onion powder
Olive
oil, Italian dressing, and water
Optional: Provolone or mozzarella cheese and Italian rolls
Steps:
Cut
the roast into manageable chunks. A couple of long strips work
best
Place
the beef into the crock pot and add 1/2 cup of olive oil and a
few splashes of Italian dressing
Add
seasonings to taste
Cover
the beef with water
Crock
it for at least 6 hours
When
the beef is tender enough, remove it and separate it using two
forks
Empty
most of the broth from the crock pot, setting it aside because
you may need it
Place
the shredded beef back in the pot, and add some broth to keep it
juicy. For best flavor, you can refrigerate it overnight before
serving
If
desired, serve on Italian rolls with provolone or mozzarella cheese, or simply
serve it straight up
