How to Make Italian Roast Beef Sandwiches
- Preheat your crockpot to low.
- Place a 3-4 lb beef roast in the crockpot.
- Add 1 cup beef broth, 1 packet (1 ounce) Italian dressing mix, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder to the crockpot.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the roast is fork-tender.
- Remove the roast from the crockpot and shred with two forks. Reserve the cooking juices.
- Preheat your broiler.
- Slice your rolls in half and place them on a baking sheet.
- Place the shredded beef on the bottom halves of the rolls.
- Top with 1/4 cup thinly sliced onions per sandwich.
- Add your preferred cheese slices (provolone, mozzarella, or a blend) to each sandwich.
- Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve immediately, offering the reserved cooking juices for dipping.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
