24 Reviews of Italian Beef

I made this tonight, and served it as a traditional pot roast, with mashed potatoes. I made it in the crockpot; let it cook all day on low. It was FANTASTIC!!!! Unfortunately, I discovered at the last minute, I didn't have a beer to add, so I just simply omitted it. It was still GREAT!!! I will definitely try the beer next time, but if you don't use alcohol, or just don't have the beer on hand, by all means make this recipe!!! I have considered my pot roast my specialty for awhile now; this blows my best efforts out of the water!!! An absolute keeper; thank you SO MUCH for sharing this recipe!

    This was an excellent recipe and so easy to do. I used the crockpot and the house smelled wonderful all day long. This is a keeper for sure!!!

    this was excellent and did fill the house with great aromas!! i added three large heads of garlic (minced)-but i do that to almost all recipes. i'm thinking of trying this with a pork tenderloin and adding vegetable broth in place of the beef broth i'll bet that will be equally as good! thanks for the great recipe!!

    What a great recipe! This was the best pulled beef recipe I've ever made. My husband and daughter BOTH gave it an enthusiastic thumbs up. The Pepperoncinis are a perfect touch, as they mellow as they cook, and they don't leave the meat spicy. Even better the next day when the flavors are allowed to blend. This would be a WOMDERFUL potluck dish, made ahead of time and reheated just before serving! This one is a keeper!

    Very good. Made this in the crockpot (6-8 hours on low). As suggested, I shredded the beef and added garlic. Wonderful. A neighbor made this using pork and it was even better than the beef.

    Oh, yeah - this one is a definate winner! Really delicious! I also added some garlic (just had to). Makes the most fabulous sandwichs - everyone wanted the recipe.

    Very tasty! I made this for a neighborhood get-together and have already been asked for the recipe three times! Didn't change anything except to add a couple teaspoons of chopped garlic like several other reviewers mentioned. Will definitely be making this again!

    This had such a great taste, and it was very tender!! I used a 3 pound roast so I cut back on the liquids a little. This is definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing.

    Mama Mia! Excellente! This was a great beef recipe! I made mine in a covered clay pot, with the addition of minced garlic and the omission of the pepperoncini's. Before serving as sandwiches I turned it into a colander to drain. The flavor was mmmmmarvelous!
