How to Make Spicy Garlic Italian Beef Sandwiches

  1. Place a 3-4 pound beef roast in your slow cooker.
  2. Pour in 2 cups of beef broth and 1 cup of beer.
  3. Add 1 cup of pepperoncinis, reserving 1/4 cup of the pepperoncini juice, and 2 cloves of minced garlic.
  4. Cook on high for 1-2 hours.
  5. Reduce heat to low and cook for an additional 6-8 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
  6. Use two forks to shred the beef once it is easily separable.
  7. While the beef cooks, prepare the garlic bread: Mix 4 tablespoons of softened butter with 1 minced clove of garlic.
  8. Spread the garlic butter on Italian bread slices and top each slice with 1-2 slices of provolone cheese.
  9. Toast the bread until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
