Italian Beef – How to Prepare It in a Crock Pot
Italian Beef seems to be my “go to” entree . I have tried several different recipes and this one is my favorite! It is a combination of a recipe my Mom’s neighbor gave her when I was in high school and one I found in a cookbook several years ago. I almost always prepare it in my crock pot!
If you don’t have Italian Seasoning on hand, you can substitute 2 tsp dried basil and 2 tsp dried oregano.
I cut slits in the top of the chuck roast
mix Italian Seasoning & minced garlic in a small bowl
place Italian Seasoning/minced garlic in the slits.
Chop the onion, place roast & onions in crock pot, add the water & 1 of the bottles of beer. Add extra water if necessary to make sure the meat is covered with liquid.
cook on low for 8 hours.
after the meat has cooked for 8 hours, remove from crock pot
chill the roast over night, the next morning the fat will be ready to be removed from the broth. After removing the fat, pour the liquid into the crock pot.
The roast can either be sliced or shredded. I sliced the roast for this recipe.
Add the roast and the 2nd bottle of beer to liquid in the crock pot. If desired, add additional Italian Seasoning to the liquid in the crock pot.
cook the sliced or shredded meat in the liquid on low for at least 4 hours or until heated through. Serve on hoagie buns.
