Instructions

Place the beef chuck roast in the slow cooker.
In a bowl, mix the beef broth, pepperoncini peppers (with juice), sliced onion, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
Pour the mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shreds.
Once cooked, shred the beef using two forks and mix it with the cooking juices in the slow cooker.
Serve the tender Italian beef on crusty rolls and top with provolone cheese slices if desired. You can also serve it on pasta or alongside roasted vegetables.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, lightly toast the crusty rolls before piling on the delicious Italian beef. Feel free to experiment with the level of spiciness by adjusting the amount of pepperoncini peppers to suit your taste. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days and make for equally mouthwatering meals. Enjoy!
