I just slow cook a whole roast. Add all the ingredients – beef broth Italian dressing mix and pepperoncinis and it’s delicious! The house smells great all day
My husband loved this! I added provolone cheese on top and put it under the broiler for a minute or two. It was the game changer.
I have made this for years, but found the pepperoncini adds too much vinegar flavor. I omit this and add one jar of drained giardenaira instead. You can use mild or hot. Excellent, and even more so when served on some garlic bread with melted provolone cheese! We have also served it with tortillas and taco fixings. Yum!
Actually, 4.5 stars for a simple sandwich that’s very good. However, this is not the same or as good as “Al’s” in Chicago and suburbs. There are many Italian Beef restaurants in Chicago and I personally prefer “Al’s” which is still ranked #1. All of the Italian beef restaurants in Chicago have subtle flavor differences, but they are good. This recipe is a very nice substitute if one desires a bit of Italian flavor, but… That said, this is a really good recipe for a fast, delicious sandwich that you can modify to you own taste, which is what cooking is really all about. I also suggest cooking your own roast to eliminate all the chemicals in many of the “deli” roast beef products. Just my 2¢
It’s a great recipe. I used beer instead of beef broth, then at the end, added beef au ju concentrate (found by meat counters) to add to the broth.
I haven’t tried it you but the first thing that comes to my mind is to throw in some Italian sausages. There used to be a Chicago style deli in Vallejo CA that had an Italian beef/sausage combo sandwich that was outstanding.
I have made a similar recipe from this site for the past couple of years in rotation and really liked! But, this one with the addition of the dry Italian dressing!? Awesome!!! That + combined with reviewer Owen on the sandwich tips (Horseradish sauce!) makes this one top notch in my book. I already updated my grocery list to make again after the holidays! Thank you for this easy but amazing crockpot recipe!
This is a regular dish in my household. I follow the directions exactly with the exception of adding onion because my husband loves the marinated onion in his sandwich.
I’ve been making this exact recipe for years and it’s always well received! I use a pound of meat per two people. More if you want leftovers! If you want it spicier, don’t drain peppers. If you want it really spicy, add onion. My hubby loves to eat it with a sweet bbq sauce.
I will make this again. I gave it four stars for taste and an extra star b/c it so easy. Based on reviews, I used low sodium beef broth and it was still salty but not overwhelming. I also added a sliced onion. To the crockpot. I brushed the rolls with olive oil and a added a little dry oregano and baked the roll on 200 for five minutes. I then put the meat on and added a slice of provolone on mine and broiled it quickly to melt cheese. I serve the juice on the side for dipping. My husband disliked fatty food so the deli roast beef sliced thin was perfect for him and I did not add cheese on his. Nobody in my family is big on meat except me and they still both liked it.??. They even said they would eat the leftovers for lunch which never happens.?
So very delicious. This was a definite hit at our house. I was at the store when I glanced at the recipe to make sure I had all the ingredients and all I seen was roast beef so I bought a roast. Oops. So I ended up cooking this longer but still amazing. Brushed rolls with olive oil and toasted them before putting the sandwiches together. Great leftovers!
I would make again with minor changes. For those wondering, I did not drain the peppers. the broth was amazing to dip the meat in! I would double the Italian dressing seasoning mix. Save the broth for dipping!!!!!!! This is key to keeping the flavor. disappointing otherwise.
made this last night. I used leftover roast and it was wonderful. did use reduced sodium beef broth . it was not salty at all. loved it and will make it again!
Awesome
I followed other review suggestions, by adding 2 pkg.’s of Italian dressing mix and beef broth instead of water, and it turned out very well. Juicy and very tasty! Thank you for sharing this recipe! This w.ill be my go-to recipe for Italian Beef
Great! A pound of chuck steak sliced thin, 16 oz. of pepperoncini with 1/2 the juice (I, too, was unsure), 10.5 oz of 50% ls beef broth and .7 Italian dressing seasoning. Cooked in crock pot on low for 4 hours and was done. Lightly buttered two hoagie rolls and broiled til lightly toasted, added a small smear of mayo, the beef mixture, topped with provolone, then broiled until cheese was melted. Got a thumbs up from BF and will definitely make again!
I thought this turned out pretty darn good. Really easy to fix and makes a great lunch item for quit fixes.
I like to make this recipe, but i also add some giardiniera peppers when cooking, really give it an extra kick!
loved it!!! used low sodium beef broth as suggested and it was PERFECT!!! Served on whole wheat chiabata rolls with side of fresh watermelon.
Easy. Delicious. Will be making again soon. Low sodium broth is the only change for me and zesty Italian dressing.
Made this with elk, it was much leaner. I followed other reviewers who said to cut down on the salt. I think I should have made it as outlined as it didn’t have enough salt.
