Notes

For best results, choose a well-marbled beef chuck roast as it will yield a more tender and flavorful Italian beef. If you like your beef spicier, feel free to add more pepperoncini peppers or a splash of the pepperoncini juice. Consider serving with crusty rolls or alongside a fresh Italian salad for a complete meal.
