Drip Beef Sandwiches

The secret to this amazing drip beef sandwich: a whole jar of pepperoncini that makes all the difference when you bite into the sandwich. You can use a slow cooker or a Dutch oven to let the beef simmer until it's fall apart tender. You can shred the beef as soon as it's ready or let it sit in the fridge overnight to easily skim off the fat the next day. Dovetailing Tip: Use the leftover roast beef from day 1 in today’s sandwich recipe.

Serving size: 10
Calories per serving: 64

Ingredients:
1-4 pounds chuck roast
Salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
1-16 ounces jar pepperoncini, juice and all
2 yellow onions, sliced
10 to 12 toasted, buttered deli rolls


Directions:
Sprinkle the chuck roast with salt and pepper.

Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and the canola oil in a heavy pot over high heat. Sear both sides of the chuck roast until very browned, about 5 minutes in all. Pour in the beef broth and 1 cup water. Add the rosemary, and then pour in the pepperoncini with their juices. Now cover the pot and simmer until the meat is tender and falling apart, 4 to 5 hours.

Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Add the onions and saute until light golden brown. Set aside.

Remove the roast from the pot and shred the meat completely using two forks. Return the meat to the cooking liquid and keep warm.

To serve, slice wedges out of the tops of the deli rolls. Heap a generous portion of meat on each roll, and then spoon some of the cooking liquid over the meat. Top with a few peppers from the pot and plenty of caramelized onions. Top the sandwiches with the wedges of roll and serve to a roomful of ravenous guests. You¿ll win friends and influence people.
