Note

For the gravy, you can use a packet of dry Italian salad dressing mix or make your own using dried oregano, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.

If you prefer a richer gravy, substitute half of the beef broth with a cup of the reserved cooking liquid from the slow cooker (skim off excess fat first).

Serve hot on hoagie rolls with giardiniera for an authentic Italian beef sandwich experience.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to prevent the beef from drying out.
