Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Beef Chuck Roast
  • 2 tbsp Italian Seasoning
  • 2 cups Beef Broth
  • 2 Bell Peppers, sliced
  • ½ cup Pepperoncini Peppers
  • Hoagie Rolls

Instructions

  1. Prepare the beef by trimming excess fat from the beef chuck roast and seasoning it with salt and pepper.
  2. Sear the roast in a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
  3. Add the seared beef to your slow cooker.
  4. Add the sliced bell peppers on top of the beef, then pour in the beef broth, and add the Italian seasoning and pepperoncini peppers.
  5. Cook on low for 480 minutes or on high for about 240 minutes until the beef is tender.
