The BEST Beef Sandwiches

beef chuck roast

🥗Healthier: leaner cuts of beef

Pork shoulder is often cheaper and still flavorful.

provolone cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: American cheese

Season the beef chuck roast very well with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Sear the beef in a Dutch oven until browned on one side, then flip to the other side.

Slice the onions thickly and add them to the Dutch oven.

Add cloves of garlic to the Dutch oven and mix around with the onions.

Pour in beef stock and add pepperoncini along with a little bit of the pepperoncini brine.

Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and cook low and slow on the stove for hours or in a low oven until the meat falls apart.

Once the meat is tender, remove it from the Dutch oven and shred it using hands, discarding any fat.

Skim off as much fat as possible from the liquid in the Dutch oven using a spoon.

Add the shredded beef back into the Dutch oven and let it simmer for a few minutes if needed.

Slice open crusty hoagie rolls and layer sharp provolone cheese on the bottom.

Add the shredded beef on top of the cheese in the hoagie rolls.

Optionally, add broccoli rabe or fried Italian peppers if desired.

Top with more cheese and pop the sandwiches into a hot oven to melt the cheese and crisp the rolls.
