I'm a paramedic/firefighter, and slow-cooked recipes like this one suit my unpredictable schedule. My husband and children and the hungry bunch at the firehouse love these robust sandwiches that have a little zip.
Ingredients:
1 jar (11-1/2 ounces) pepperoncini
1 boneless beef chuck roast (3-1/2 to 4 pounds)
1/4 cup water
1-3/4 teaspoons dried basil
1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1-1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1-1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 large onion, sliced and quartered
10 to 12 hard rolls, split
Directions:
1. Drain the pepperoncini, reserving liquid. Remove and discard stems of peppers; set peppers aside. Cut roast into large chunks; place a third of the meat in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Add water.
2. In a small bowl, combine the seasonings; sprinkle half over beef. Layer with half of the remaining meat, then the onion and pepperoncini. Pour pepperoncini liquid over the top. Add remaining meat to slow cooker; sprinkle with remaining seasonings.
3. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or until meat is tender. Shred beef with two forks. Using a slotted spoon, serve beef and peppers on rolls. Yield: 10-12 servings.
