Italian Beef in a Bucket

From Lee Custer, for About.com

Lee Custer sent me this recipe for a slow cooked beef that can be used in any Italian dish.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 18 hours

Ingredients:

  • 3 1/2 pounds beef roast: sirloin tip or rump roast
  • 12 ounces (jar) Italian Giardiniera drained
  • 12 ounces (jar) pepperoncini peppers
  • 1 envelop Italian salad dressing -zesty Italian
  • 10 ounce can beef broth

Preparation:

Place roast in slow cooker (3 1/2 quart). Mix all other ingredients together, draining oil from giardiniera - mine was water packed. (When adding giardiniera and pepperoncini, use 1/2 jar for a mild version or all for a spicier version). Add all ingredients to slow cooker, cover and cook for 18 (yes, that's right, eighteen) hours on LOW.

Meat will be very tender - can use a fork to pull apart.

I add liquid smoke to this on occasion to give a nice smoky taste. Use about 1- 2 Tbls.

This recipe can be doubled for larger crock pots.
