Pioneer Womans Hot Spicy Italian Drip Beef Recipes

SLOW-COOKER DRIP BEEF SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Toss the beef roast in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker with the rosemary, ½ teaspoon salt and a generous grinding of pepper. Add the pepperoncini with their brine, along with the beef broth. Cover and cook on low until the meat is very tender and easy to pull apart, 7 to 8 hours.
• When the slow cooker has about 15 minutes left, heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the roast to a bowl and shred using 2 forks, then return it to the slow cooker. Keep warm.
• Preheat the broiler. Put the rolls on a baking sheet and spread with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Broil until toasted, about 2 minutes.
• Heap a generous portion of meat on each roll, then spoon some of the cooking liquid over the meat. Top with a few pepperoncini from the slow cooker and plenty of caramelized onions. Put 2 slices of cheese on each sandwich and return to the broiler just to melt the cheese, about 1 more minute. Serve with potato chips and the extra cooking liquid on the side for dipping.

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

PIONEER WOMAN'S ITALIAN DRIP BEEF

Steps:

• 1. I didn't have any sandwich rolls but I did have a loaf of Italian bread. I decided to make open faced sandwiches with it. I brushed the Italian bread slices with butter on both sides and toasted them in my frying pan. I sauteed onions in a little olive oil and put them on top of the toasted bread then piled the beef on. I topped the sandwich with slices of mozzarella cheese. The open faced sandwich went under the broiler till the cheese was bubbling hot and slightly browning. The drip was served on the side to dip each tasty bite into. LOVED IT!! I hope you make this an enjoy it as much as we did!!
• 2. Combine all ingredients in a heavy pot or dutch oven. Stir lightly to combine seasoning with the liquid.
• 3. Cover and bake in a 275 degree oven* for 5 to 6 hours, or until meat is fork-tender and falling apart. **If meat is not yet tender, return to oven for 30 minute intervals till it's tender!**
• 4. Remove from oven. With two forks, completely shred all meat, leaving no large chunks behind. Serve immediately, or keep warm over a simmer on the stove.
• 5. May make the day before, then store in the refrigerator. Remove the hardened fat from the top before reheating.
• 6. Serve on buttered, toasted rolls. Top with cheese and melt under the broiler if desired. Serve with juices from the pot.

PIONEER WOMAN'S HOT & SPICY ITALIAN DRIP BEEF

Steps:

• ***NOTE: This recipe can easily be halved!
• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Heat the olive oil in a heavy, large dutch oven over high heat. Salt and pepper the chuck roast on both sides, then sear each roast until deep golden brown on both sides, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove roasts from pot and set aside on a plate.
• Reduce heat to medium. Pour in beef stock, whisking to scrape the bottom of the pan. Pour in crushed tomatoes, pepperoncinis (with the juice), and the drained hot cherry peppers. (NOTE: You can use whatever jarred peppers you like!) Stir to combine, then add the roasts back to the pot.
• Place the lid on the pot and place the pot in the oven. Cook for 4 hours, or until meat is fork tender. If it's not, return the pot to the oven for another 30 to 45 minutes, or until it's falling apart. If you have time, allow the pot to cool slightly, then place it in the fridge for several hours to allow fat to harden at the surface. Use a spoon to scoop out the hardened fat (some fat is okay!) then heat it up again on the stovetop.
• When the meat is heated again, remove the roasts to a cutting board. Use two forks to shred it into big chunks, then return the meat to the cooking liquid. Serve on toasted deli rolls with cheese melted on top (with extra peppers over the cheese!) You can also serve it with mashed potatoes or noodles.
• ***The liquid is quite spicy, but if you use a slotted spoon it will keep it pretty mild.
