Description

Italian Beef!


Scale

Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 pound roast of beef (Sirloin Tip center roast) – as lean as you can find find it (or trim the fat to leave a thin layer)
  • 4 to 5 cups of rich beef bouillon – heated to a slow simmer.
  • 2 packages of Italian Beef Seasonings
  • 2 large onions, sliced into thick slices
  • 68 cloves of garlic
  • 1 large green pepper, in thick slices
  • 1 package of Provolone cheese.

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle the beef with the Italian seasonings – one pack per side.
  2. For added flavor, I first seared the roast on all sides.
  3. Place fat side down in roaster and surround the meat with the sliced onions and green pepper.
  4. If you did not sear the meat first, add a sprinkling of olive oil to the bottom of the Dutch oven or crock to prevent the seasoning from burning.
  5. Roast the meat at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. The onions and peppers should be fragrant but not burned.
  6. Add half of the bouillon to the roasting pan. Cover tightly.
  7. Roast for 1 hour, basting on a regular basis.
  8. After 1 hour, add the other half of the broth. Cover again.
  9. You want the roast to be fork tender.

Notes

Drain a jar of Gardiniera. Add it to the pan juices.

Heat through and ladle onto the meat along with the onions and green peppers for a “wet” Italian Beef.

When using a slow cooker instead of a cast iron Dutch oven, set timer to 4 hours on High or 6 hours on Low.
