Italian Beef

[2hot2coolme]

Here's a really good beef recipe and simple to make.

3lb rump roast
1 jar mild giardiniera (drain the juice)
2 cloves garlic
1/8 cup chopped oregano

Mix the ingredients into a slow cooker with the roast and let it cook for approximately 10-12 hrs, the meat produces it's own juices and will literally fall apart.

Best served on gonella bread with a side of pepperoncini

my mom makes that but also tosses in a bag of pickling spices in a cheesecloth its not overpowering but just right.

My wife makes that she adds a pack of dry Italian dressing per pound of meat.

OK, Here's a revision that was scruptadiliumptius...:D

I used a 5 lb round roast.
12oz can of beef broth.
1 jar giardinera (drained)
(2) 0.7oz. packets of Good Seasons Italian salad dressing mix.
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/8 cup oregano
1 cup water

I tossed everything in the slowcooker for about 8 hrs on low and the house smelled deeelish...

I made some over the weekend and added a couple more things to the mix.

I took one red pepper and chopped it into long slices and fried them with a touch of corn oil, (very good!) and put them on the sandwich.
I also took the French roll and put a little butter and some garlic powder on top and set it on the grill for a few minutes just to melt the butter and to get the roll a little crispy.

It was pretty good.

You make that crap alot! Your "gardenaria" is just pickled veggies?

This is it!! I did it today. Only difference was I seared the roast in a fry pan and oven convect it to 150 deg. Cooled and sliced it as thin as my slicer would go. Then slow cooked.
Best I've had. Thanx Coolme.
Oh and I used low sodium broth.
