Italian Beef for Sandwiches

Have been making this for years, but my dish calls for studding your meat( I prefer pork), with garlic and adding a can of beef consomme and one can of water along with the pepperonchinis. I pretoast my crusty rolls with garlic butter, then put meat and mozza/ Havarti cheese on bun and pop back in the oven to melt cheese. Also, serve with individulal portions of the drippings for dipping! Yummy!

I've had this Italian beef since I was a little kid. It was my grandmother's recipe with rump roast, onion soup packet, lawry's seasoning salt and garlic. Best italian beef ever and I live in Chicago!

I have made this st least 3 times. It's my favorite slow cooker recipe, by far the easiest, and people just flat-out love it.

I'm impressed this is extremely tasty and the meet is so tender!! What's not to love?! It's simple to make and delicious!

Everyone loved this simple recipe, just feels like something is missing. I will make again and try adding some Italian seasoning.

This is a fantastic recipe! I did add about a cup of beef broth with the peppers for more juice. After it was cooked I sliced the peppers and tossed them in with the meat, which we piled on hard rolls with mozzarella cheese. Add Caesar salad and voila, a fantabulous meal!

I was very skeptical but this was quite good! I tasted the broth before returning the shredded beef and felt it needed a little something. So I stirred in a heaping spoonful of some Vegetable Better Than Bouillon (I prefer it over the beef flavor) and that helped a lot. Served on heated crusty rolls with melted provolone. Yummy!

I have made this for over 30years and I always added sliced green peppers to make it like Blondies on Fullerton Ave in Chicago in the 60’s I also use beef bouillon or AU Ju packaged gravy to add More juice for the authentic dipping Even without the peppers, this is a 10 from my children and grandchildren Yum!!!!!! Yummy!!!

If you feel this is somehow "missing something", try this: 4 lbs. beef rump, chuck or tri tip roast 2 cups water 4 or so teaspoons beef bouillon granules or concentrate 1 tsp each, dried oregano leaves and thyme 1 clove garlic 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 1 10 1/2 oz. jar of peperoncini peppers, drained and stems removed 1 medium onion, chopped

I made this as instructed and it was the Best! Very flavorful. I would have never thought of adding the peppers. I've used a pkg of Italian dressing and it was good but not nearly as good as this. Thanks for the great recipe!!!

My family absolutely loved this. My 12 year old son is such a picky eater and requested this same meal the following week. It’s SO EASY too. I followed the recipe exactly and it was perfect. We used Hoagie rolls.

I have been making mine this way for years. Only thing I do different is I add 2 whole bay leaves and 3 or 4 garlic cloves and then remove at the end before I shred the meat. Everyone always brags on this dish and there is never any left

No changes, we love this recipe because it's so easy and tastes so good!!!

This was the simplest thing to make, and it was awesome! Absolutely outstanding. Hubby and I both loved it. Will be in regular rotation at our house. Bonus: Hubby found pepperoncinis that were already sliced in the jar!

This is an amazing recipe! All my guys thought it was incredible too and I loved that there canNOT be a simpler recipe out there! I’ll be making this a bunch.

This is delicious. Add a slice of provolone and you’ve got perfection. I used a jar of whole pepperoncini’s. A+

This is the perfect mix of stupid-easy and delicious! We tried it at home and everyone loved it, so we put it on our list of meals to make while on vacation the following week! After a day on the beach, this yummy dinner was waiting for us! We had it with provolone on soft sub rolls and a salad.

It works. But, still pretty bland. Second time around. I added 3 packets of the dry Hidden Ranch Italian Dressing and 1 12oz bottle of Cream Stout Ale, salt, Papper, and a pinch of minced dry cayenne pepper. That revved it up a lot!

I am not trying to be overly critical, but... This is a good and easy "beef and pepperoncini" recipe, but I hesitate to call it "Italian beef.". The flavors in a great Italian beef sandwich are made up of the complex marriage of many fresh herbs and spices. I have quite a few excellent recipes and have made them all. What an Italian person likes varies by region and culture, and I have found that I enjoy them all. However, they are all somewhat different. There are many great Italian beef restaurants and stands in Italian neighborhoods, especially in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, and other cities. This recipe is easy and good, but try some of the others from regional cookbooks.

Always a big hit! I add a sliced pepper too, whatever kind I have. We serve on rolls with provolone. So good!

These sandwiches taste amazing and are incredibly easy to make. We put the meat on buns and broil 1-2 minutes with melted provolone cheese.

I make a similar version... I add a packet of Dry Italian salad dressing mix!! Yummmmm!! If you really want the flavors to infuse, then poke holes into your roast for thorough flavor throughout.

You need way more than just beef and peppers to make ITALIAN beef. This recipe lacks taste.

I have made this for years! I add a package of dry Italian Dressing mix and sprinkle over the top of the roast after adding the banana peppers and dot it with a half stick of butter.

Great recipe! Been making this for years! I just add extra ingredients that we like. I add a can of beef broth, garlic and a yellow onion. I Used provolone or mozzarella cheese.

I made it exactly how stayed....delicious! Can’t wait to make again. It was a little spicy, but nothing that lingers!

DELICIOUS AND EASY. Added option to guests of having with caramelized onions an peppers with Monterey Jack cheese. Everybody loved it!!

One of my all-time favs. Everyone who has ever tried it compliments the flavor and seconds are very popular.

I added 2 packets Italian salad dressing along with the peppercorns. Very tasty

I have made this and it was very tasty. The only thing that I would mention is that the meat was done after 7 hours not 8. This could be because my crockpot cooks hotter.

I make this at least once a month. Sometimes I make it as written or I add beef broth or garlic. Whatever I’m feeling when I throw it in the pot. We make sandwiches out of it or I eat it over rice.

I make this with one difference. I sprinkle a package of dry Italian dressing mix over the roast and then add the pepperocini.

Loved the aroma of this cooking all day in the crockpot. My husband and I really liked it. Couldn’t be any easier.

OMGosh sooo good and so simple!! I love this beef!! Great recipe!!

Tried this out and is was very good. I added some other spices that I like and it turned out great. The wife loved it! Thanks for the recipe!

We liked it but it was a little spicy for us. I made it the next time using about half the peppers and love it! I do like it with the provolone cheese.

Been making this for 25+ years..and yes added beef broth to the c Pot

This was outstanding! And so easy. Everyone in the family loved it. This is definitely a keeper! Thank you.

Loved this recipe!! I put the sandwiches together and then put under the broiler for about 3 minutes and it was amazing! We will make this again!!

We made this exactly as directed with no changes and it was outstanding. This will be a regular in our rotation. The next time we make it we will however remove the stems from the pepperoncini as they can add a woody flavor.

Awesome sandwich , a easy recipe. will enjoy this for a long time . family loved it.

This is the easiest recipe you will ever use and it is delicious. One of my most requested meals. I found that Pepperoncini's come in 16 oz jars in our stores, so I just throw the whole thing. Toasting the bread rolls adds tremendously to the flavor, your choice of cheese and...YUM!

was really good and impressed with the taste

I will make it again. I added a packet of brown gravy mix and a packet of italian dressing mix. I also added about 2 -3 tbsp of butter, next time I will cut the butter and probably ad a can of beer.

Beyond our expectations! The only thing I added outside of the ingredients was appx tablespoon of Better than Bouillon Beef base so we could use the sauce to dip. These sandwiches were spectacular and it is now going to be part of my rotation. We caramelized some onions and used provolone and horseradish sauce. Perfecto.

Made it for card nights and everyone wanted the recipe

So simple, and so delicious. My wife & I loved it. Made it just as the recipe says. We will definitely make this again.

I used a trimmed half brisket. This came out awesome.

This was delicious, a real shelter in place treat! After checking other reviewers I did add one envelope of Italian salad dressing powder, half an onion sliced and a whole green bell pepper sliced. Added 2cups sliced fresh baby bella mushrooms to the pot along with the beef after shredding it. Will definitely make again.

I made this only I put a small bottle of italian dressing while cooking the beef or pork

Been making this for years. Family members have too!! Even BEFORE Pioneer Woman!! Delicious as written! YUM!

Very little prep and delicious. Made a couple of minor modification: added 2 tsp garlic, and dipped the bun quickly into the liquid Chicago style before serving. My wife told me I could do that again any time. Made 3 good meals for the two of us for less than $20.00.

I've been making this FOR-EV-ER and can't believe I haven't left a review! This is a favorite to send to work with my husband for a potluck "mandatory fun" day in the army. It was even a request during hurricane evacuation that he bring his famous beef for sandwiches for those that had to stay behind. I follow the recipe exactly - it literally is as easy as it looks. Definitely drink lots of water bc the sodium content is probably really high

Made last night and boy oh boy, was it a hit!! My hubby and son LOVED IT. A keeper.

I only added a few spices: oregano, basil, garlic, and pepper. Next time I will purchase whole peppers instead of the chopped ones. Very tasty!

I was really surprised how good it was with just the 2 ingredients. I wanted to add some Italian seasoning, but my wife talked me into just seeing how it was without it. We made Italian beef sandwiches with provolone and mozzarella cheese. They were really good. I will definitely make this again.

Added a bit of garlic. Delicious!!!!

Great recipe! I did add fresh garlic, onion soup mix, and just a little pepper. Thin slices between a crusty bun with provolone cheese and used the juice to dip. Excellent!

This was so easy and good

It was just OK.. Would not be in a rush to make it again.. I still gave it 3 stars because it was extremely easy recipe, probably that’s why is was just OK..

Turned out great
