Ingredients

  • 1 jar (16 ounces) sliced pepperoncini, undrained
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 packages Italian salad dressing mix
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 beef rump roast or bottom round roast (3 to 4 pounds)
  • 12 Italian rolls, split

Directions

  1. In a bowl, mix the first 7 ingredients. Halve roast; place in a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Pour pepperoncini mixture over top. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 60 minutes. Let pressure release naturally. A thermometer inserted into beef should read at least 145°.
  2. Remove roast; cool slightly. Skim fat from cooking juices. Shred beef with 2 forks. Return beef and cooking juices to pressure cooker; heat through. Serve on rolls.
    To make ahead: In a large shallow freezer container, combine the first 7 ingredients. Add roast; cover and freeze. To use, place freezer container in refrigerator 48 hours or until roast is completely thawed. Cook and serve as directed.
