Method

5 steps 15 min prep · 480 min cook

Prep

Step 1. Season the Chuck Roast with Salt and Black Pepper, then put it in a slow cooker.
Step 2. Add Beef Stock, Garlic and Oregano. Cover and cook on low until the beef pulls apart easily with a fork, about 8 hours.
Step 3. Transfer the beef to a board and shred it with forks. Skim excess fat from the cooking juices, then return the beef to the slow cooker and toss to moisten.

Finish & serve

Step 4. Fill the Hoagie Rolls with the beef and top with Giardiniera.
Step 5. Ladle the cooking juices into small bowls and serve alongside the sandwiches for dipping.

Tips

Good to know

If the beef resists shredding, cover it and cook on low until fork-tender, checking every 30 minutes.

Leftovers

Refrigerate the beef in its juices for up to 4 days, then reheat until hot and fill fresh rolls.

Swap it

Use gluten-free rolls and check that the beef stock is gluten-free if needed.
