Spicy Garlic Italian Beef Sandwiches
This recipe creates tender, slow-cooked beef sandwiches packed with spicy and garlicky flavours. A chuck roast is simmered with beef broth, dark beer, pepperoncini peppers and garlic for several hours until it falls apart. The shredded meat is then served on warm, toasted Italian bread spread with garlic butter and topped with melted provolone cheese, along with the cooking juices and peppers.
