Italian Beef

Italian beef with a ’bite’. The secret to this spicy version is cooking the peppers in with the roast instead of serving them on the side. I often stem and seed the peppers and return them to the jar with the juice and refrigerate them overnight. That way, I only have to add everything to the crockpot the next morning and I’m good to go.

Basic Recipe
  • Louie’s P & R Italian Beef seasoning mix*

  • 3-5 lb beef chuck roast

  • 1 jar (32 oz) pepperoncini peppers (not the mild ones)stemmed and seeded. Reserve juice (Note the more seeds left with the peppers the ’hotter’ this will be.

Italian Beef Seasoning
  • Place seasoning mix in crockpot. Stir in 2 cups warm water and juice from peppers. Submerge roast then add peppers around the roast. Cook 8 hours on low.

  • Remove roast, shred and return to crockpot and cook on low 30 min. (Remove bay leaves if used.)

  • Serve on sliced hard rolls.
