Italian Hot Roast Beef Sandwiches
These Italian Beef Sandwiches are crazy tender and a flavor and texture explosion in every mouthwatering bite! The beef is seasoned to perfection, slow cooked until tender, piled on a toasted cheesy bun and crowned with your favorite toppings. These Italian Beef Sandwiches not only make the easiest dinner or party food food, but a super fun (make ahead!) sandwich bar to feed a crowd! I've also included instructions on how to freeze and make ahead!

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Sear: Heat olive oil over medium high heat in a large nonstick skillet. Using two forks or tongs to hold roast, sear on all sides until lightly browned. Add to slow cooker and top with all remaining Slow Cooker ingredients EXCEPT pepperoncini juice.

Cook: Cook on LOW for ⏱️ 4 hours then remove roast to a cutting board. Thinly slice roast across the grain. Place sliced meat back in slow cooker along with 1/3 cup juice from pepperoncini jar. Continue to cook on LOW for 1-2 additional hours or until very tender.
3
Broil: When ready to serve, whisk together the Aioli ingredients. Spread Aioli on each inside half of rolls. Broil rolls, Aioli side up, for approximately ⏱️ 2 minutes or until edges are slightly golden. Layer bottom half of rolls with beef, followed by 1 slice provolone. I cut each piece of provolone in half so it fits the shape of the roll. Layer the top rolls with 1 slice provolone (cut in half). Broil until cheese is melted.
4
Assemble: Layer sandwiches with all or some of your favorite toppings (in any order). I like to order mine: roasted red peppers, salami, capacolla, red onions, lettuce, tomatoes, pepperoncinis. Drizzle with red wine vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste. Dig in!
