A flavorful and tender Italian-style beef recipe perfect for sandwiches or as a main dish.
Prepare the beef chuck roast by trimming any excess fat.
Trimming the fat helps reduce grease in the final dish.
Place the beef chuck roast in the slow cooker.
Ensure the beef fits snugly in the slow cooker for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the beef broth, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, bay leaves, and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.
Pour evenly to coat the beef for maximum flavor.
Cook on low for 8-9 hours until the beef is tender and easily shredded.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain consistent heat.
Remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred using two forks.
Shred while the beef is warm for easier handling.
Serve the shredded beef on rolls or as a main dish with your favorite sides.
Garnish with fresh herbs or pepperoncini for added flavor and presentation.
