I'm a paramedic/firefighter, and slow-cooked recipes like this one suit my unpredictable schedule. My husband and children and the hungry bunch at the firehouse love these robust sandwiches that have a little zip.

Great meal for Sunday football! It was so easy to prepare and very delicious! The pepperoncinis gave this recipe a great Italian flavor. I would definitely make this again.

This has become our family's favorite Italian Beef sandwich! I typically freeze half of the beef to reheat on those busy days when cooking a meal from scratch is not an option. It reheats beautifully.

DELICIOUS! Have yet to find someone that doesn't love it!! Perfect for game day or family dinner! Tender and moist with fantastic flavor. Perfect as is, but can add more juice from the pepperoncinis to give it a little more spice! Great with french bread loves. My husband likes to put cheese on his as well. Even better reheated!

Very Delicious Sandwich!! Instead of using the whole pepperoncinis, I use the sliced. I also use a pkg. of Italian salad dressing mix! YUM!

This is truly delicious, but I add more water to lessen the acidity of the pepper juice, and also add 1 or 2 teaspoons of anise seed (depending on the size of the roast), so you'll get the REAL Italian flavor!!

The flavor of these sandwiches is excellent! We substitute 1 teaspoon onion powder for the sliced onion, use a 12 ounce jar of pepperoncinis, and do not add the 1/4 cup of water. We typically use a roast around 3 pounds (and leave all other seasoning amounts as stated in recipe) and get about 9 sandwiches. Delicious!
