Italian Pepperoncini Shredded Beef on Onion Rolls
I made a trip out to the store earlier & found an awesome deal on Sirloin Tip Roast. I have been craving some Italian Pepperoncini Beef Sandwiches for a while now, so I immediately picked out a nice roast, & went to check out – hurrying home so I would have time for it to slow cook. I adore these sandwiches, and so does everyone else that has tried them. Every time I prepare these, my oldest daughter exclaims ‘Now, that’s a sandwich!’. Gotta love her! And, you just gotta love these!!
For the Italian Pepperoncini Shredded Beef, you will need 1 (2lb) Sirloin Tip Roast, 1 cup of beef broth, 1 (16oz) jar of pepperoncini, 1/4 cup of Italian dressing, & my recipe for Italian Spice blend. The Italian Spice blend consists of 2 tbsp garlic powder, 2 tbsp onion powder, 1 tbsp sugar, 4 tbsp Italian Herbs, 1 tsp celery salt, 1 tsp black pepper, & 2 tbsp salt.
Pour in the juice from the jar of pepperoncinis & 1/4 cup of Italian Salad Dressing. Pull off – or cut off -the stems of the peppers & add those in the mix as well.
Put the sauteed onions to the side while we work on the dough. I use my bread maker for this because it makes the job much easier. Place 3/4 cup warm milk, 1/4 cup warm water, 4 tablespoons melted butter, 2 tsp salt, 3 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp onion powder, 1/4 cup ground oats, reserved sauteed onions, 3 cups of all purpose flour, & 1 (.25oz) packet of yeast into the pan of your bread maker in the order suggested by the manufacturer. I have the ingredients listed in the order that I put them in mine (a Sunbeam bread machine).Â
After the dough has risen – slice up a medium onion & saute until nice & browned.
Combine 1 egg white with 1 tbsp of water – brush on top of the risen rolls. Then top with the sauteed onions.
Bake for 15-20 minutes at in a 325 degree oven. Remove & let cool before slicing in half.
When you are ready to serve these awesome sandwiches, slice open the rolls & top with the shredded meat & a couple slices of white cheese. I have used Monterrey Jack, Provolone, & Swiss – and they are all delightful. I also saute up another large onion to go on top of the meat.
Serve it by itself, or along side a bowl of the Au Jus. Either way, this is delish!
