Description
Delicious and tender roast beef with pepperoncini
Ingredients
- Rump Roast – about 3 lbs.
- 2 cups of chicken broth
- 3 Tbsp. of Italian Seasoning
- 1 (16 oz.)Jar of Pepperoncini
Instructions
- Place the roast in the slow cooker
- Pour enough chicken broth to cover halfway up the roast
- Pour out half of the jar of pepperoncini juice
- Sprinkle the Italian seasoning over the roast and broth
- Add about half of the pepperoncini to the broth
- Set the crock pot to high, and leave for about 5 hours, or until tender
- Test with a fork to see if the roast easily pulls apart – if it’s not quite pulling apart, reach down into the slow cooker with a fork and knife, and cut into small pieces so the juices can soak into the meat (this will also help cook the meat a little faster).
- If it pulls apart with a fork, then start pulling it apart into smaller chunks to allow the juices to soak in
- Let it cook for about an hour longer allowing the roast to saturate with the juices and herbs
- It should be pretty tender by now, pull it apart again with a fork leaving tender strips of meat in the juices
- Keep the crock pot on warm
- Serve with delicious bakery rolls, more Pepperoncini, and juice from the crock pot
Notes
Adjustments:
I know I gave an exact on measurement, but honestly, I’ve never used measurements for this recipe. I always pour enough broth and pepperoncini juice to cover the roast and then sprinkle the Italian seasoning to cover the surface of both the roast and the broth. That’s it.
