Ingredients

3 to 4 pound chuck roast or round roast (trimmed of large chunks of excess fat)
Kosher salt
14.5 ounce can beef broth (divided)
8 ounces pepperoncini pepper slices (plus 1/4 cup of juice and additional peppers for serving)
8 ounces giardiniera (mild or spicy)
Provolone cheese slices (for serving)
Hoagie buns (for serving)
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon thyme dried (ground)

Steps:

Let the meat rest at room temperature for 15 minutes (this is a good time to measure your other spices and seasonings). Season the beef all over with kosher salt.
Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high. Once it is hot, sear the meat on all sides until golden brown, moving it as little as possible so that it develops a nice crust (this will take about 10 minutes). Transfer to the slow cooker.
Turn the heat to medium. Carefully splash in some of the broth and with a wooden spoon, scrape up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan (this is FLAVOR). Pour the liquid and any bits into the slow cooker on top of the beef.
In a small bowl, stir together the seasoning ingredients: Italian seasoning, granulated sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Sprinkle on top of the beef.
Add the pepperoncini peppers and juice. Add the giardiniera (do not add any giardiniera juice).
Pour in the remaining broth.
Cover the crockpot and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours, or until meat shreds easily with a fork. Shred the beef, then stir it together with the juices. Cover and cook on low for 30 additional minutes.
To serve, split the hoagie buns and toast on a baking sheet in the oven at 350 degrees for 5 to 7 minutes (if desired). Fill with the shredded Italian beef (get plenty of that yummy, messy juice!) and top with provolone, pepperoncini, and Giardiniera as desired. Enjoy!

Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, stir together the salt, black pepper, onion powder, paprika and brown sugar. Rub and pat the spice mixture evenly on the roast.
Place the roast in a 4- or 5-quart slow cooker. Pour the beef broth around the roast, cover, and cook on low for 8-9 hours or high for 5-6 hours.
While the meat cooks, roast the garlic (you can do this several days in advance and refrigerate). Peel most of the paper skin off the heads of garlic (making sure all the cloves stay intact). Slice about 1/4-inch or so off the tip of the head of garlic so the ends of the garlic are exposed. Place the two heads of garlic cut-side up on a sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle with 1-2 teaspoons olive oil. Wrap the foil around to cover completely and bake at 400 degrees F for 30-40 minutes until the garlic is starting to look caramelized and brown and the texture is very, very soft.
Let the garlic cool until it doesn't burn your fingers off before squeezing the soft garlic out of the skins. Mash and lightly chop the garlic; set aside.
