Instructions
For the Slow Cooker Italian Beef:
In a small bowl, stir together the homemade Italian dressing mix (or an Italian dressing mix packet) and olive oil.
Rub the mixture all over the beef and place beef in crock pot. Add beef stock, red wine, pepperocinis and juice, cover, and cook on LOW for 8-10 hrs or HIGH for 5-6 hrs, until tender.
Remove beef from juice, shred with two forks, remove and discard any fat or grissle, and place the shredded beef back in the juice in the slow cooker.
Serve Italian beef warm on Amoroso or slider rolls (or mashed cauliflower) and top w/ Homemade Giardiniera and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
For the Homemade Giardiniera:
In a large bowl, stir together vinegar, pepperocini juice, Italian seasoning, garlic, sugar, salt & pepper then slowly whisk in the olive oil until well blended.
Add chopped veggies, jalapenos, pepperocinis, and parsley to the dressing and toss to coat.
Allow veggies to marinate until ready to serve. Serve cold on top of warm Italian Beef.
