Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lbs beef chuck roast
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 2 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 6 sub rolls or hoagie buns
- 6 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the beef: Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot skillet until browned on all sides to lock in juices.
- Add aromatics and liquid: Transfer the roast to a slow cooker. Add onions, garlic, green bell peppers, beef broth, and Italian seasoning.
- Slow cook: Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours until fork-tender.
- Shred the meat: Remove the roast from the slow cooker and shred into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
- Melt cheese: Return shredded meat to the broth briefly before serving. Pile onto sub rolls topped with provolone cheese; broil until cheese melts slightly.
- Serve: Offer sandwiches with extra broth on the side for dipping.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider adding roasted red peppers or swapping Italian seasoning with your favorite herbs.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container; reheat gently to maintain juiciness.
