Best Cheese for Drip Beef Recipe
Italian Drip Beef Sandwiches
Jump to Recipe
Tomorrow is the big day. Super Bowl Sunday grubbing. I cannot wait. This recipe, from The Pioneer Woman, is a perfect thing for your football watching extravaganza. I have made this many, many times. It never fails to be moist and tender and crazy easy to make. 5 ingredients. That is it. Can you pour? Can you put a big slab of beef into a pot? Then you can make this. This needs to be made the day before you are going to eat it. The flavors hang out and become friends. Really, really good friends.
The meat just falls apart. You use a fork and it shreds all on its own. Toast some sub rolls and grab some slices of cheese. I really like the spicy pepper jack with this, but use whatever you have around. The sandwich of your dreams.
chuck roast (mine was about 4 pounds)
pepperoncini
beef consomme or beef broth
Italian seasoning
salt
sub rolls
provolone cheese or pepper jack cheese
Grab yourself a big pot (one that can go in the oven) and put the chuck roast in it. Cover it with 4 tablespoons or so of Italian seasoning.
Cover the chuck roast with beef consomme and a half cup of water.
Put half the jar of pepperoncini on top. Pour out some the juice from the peppers as well. Season with salt.
(I know that it does not look very appetizing right now, but I promise you it is delicious.) Cover the pot and cook for 5 to 6 hours in a 275 degree oven. (You can also cook this in the slow cooker or slowly simmered on the stove). The beef should be falling apart. If it isn't, keep cooking it until it does. When the beef is done, cool it down and put it in the fridge overnight. The fat will harden and skim it from the top.
Put the pot on the stove and heat on low to medium to heat through. If you need to, add more beef broth or water and add more liquid.
Toast a sub roll.
Cover the toasted roll with the shredded beef and a few peppers.
Cover with a few slices of cheese.
Put the sandwich under the broiler until the cheese melts.
How good does this look? Serve with some of the cooking liquid on the side for dipping.

We tried this recipe too a little while ago. I love how easy it is and it was delicious! It was a bit spicy for my family, but I think that's because we're pretty wimpy when it comes to spicy stuff. It was still very yummy!

This is a family favorite that I make in the crockpot. I also like to toss in a chopped onion and some mushrooms:-) I've also been known to take the leftovers and give them second life by adding carrots and potatoes to make a stew. Delicious!

I've seen these on her site. You've convinced me I should make these! I am new to your site and I am obsessed!! Making 2 or 3 of your recipes today!!!

Welcome Leslie, these are delicious and so incredibly easy.

I make something very similar to this! I call it brisket tacos though! I put a jar of the peppers, 1 dry packet of italian seasoning, 4 beef bullion cubes, onion, and some water in a crock pot. I serve it on tortillas. It's very very yummy!

that sounds great Natalie.

I'm not a fan of pepperoncinis, but it looks like they might be good if i just didn't add any to the sandwich itself. But really I wanted to say how much I love your site! When I'm googling for recipe ideas, it seems like I consistently end up back here and everything I've made has been great. You're definitely my go-to site for a recipe that I can count on to turn out well the first time I make it. Over the holidays I had to host a party for ~75 people and used 5 or 6 of your recipes- each one turned out great and I had a lot of requests for the recipes. Keep up the great work 🙂

This recipe is delicious and EASY! Perfect for me! I'm not a great cook-just not one of my my better attributes! In fact, if you would like a laugh, take a look at my lateset cooking mess! I'd love some suggestions!

I am sure that you are a great cook. I will check it out and see if I can help.

Hi!! Love the site!! I was going to make this tonight for guests, not realizing that I should refrigerate it overnight!! Oops… Do you think it'd be okay if I don't refrigerate it??
bakedbree 16 Feb 2011 Reply
I sent you an email, but it should be fine. Just make sure to skim off as much fat as you can.
Angie 18 Feb 2011 Reply
Thanks Bree!! I changed my game plan and saved this for the next day!! I'm so glad I did! There is no way I would've skimmed as much fat!! A VITAL step in the process!! It was a lovely meal!! And SO looking forward to leftovers!!
bakedbree 18 Feb 2011 Reply
thanks for sharing Angie! Glad that you liked it.
Annemarie Frost 25 Feb 2011 Reply
Thanks for this! I just ran to the grocery to pick up everything and tossed it all the crock pot! I was searching for something to make for a group tomorrow and this should be great!!!

it will be perfect. Such a perfect thing for entertaining.

These look so yummy– how many grown ups do you think the 4lbs feeds? Don't want to overcrowd my pot– but need to feed 7 adults and 4 kids
bakedbree 7 May 2011 Reply
A lot. I might use a little larger cut of beef, but it does make a lot.

I must say I am very very curious to try this recipe out. Although being a true Chicago Italian Beef fan, this might not be my style. But I will test it out and come back and post my thoughts. I am a bree fan, but this might take away from something I am too involved in, as I am a true ItalianBeef.com fan.
Thanks again!!!!
bakedbree 4 Dec 2011 Reply
Please do, I hope that you enjoy it even if it doesn't fit your style.

This specific menu is delicious along with UNCOMPLICATED! Ideal for us! I'm not a good cook-just not merely one connected with the the superior features! Actually, if you wish a laugh, consider the latest cooking chaos! I'd really like a few tips!
bakedbree 12 May 2014 Reply
I am so glad that you liked it! If you are cooking "challenged" the slow cooker may become your best friend. You really can't mess anything up in there. 🙂

This looks so yummy! Getting a whole new kitchen tomorrow thanks to the flooding in Louisiana and can't wait to try some new recipies on my new oven! Love this site!

I'm sorry about the flooding, but a new kitchen sounds nice. Enjoy!

This recipe is alive and well all these years later! I make this as part of my monthly rotation. My family LOVES it! I posted a picture recently and had a bunch of friends ask for the recipe, so of course I passed it along. Thank you for this staple, this is one if the recipes my kids will remember when they have their own families.

This comment makes me so happy, I can't even tell you. Thank you for sharing this with me.

This has become one of our families favorite recipe. The meat is so tender and there is something about cooking it low and slow in the oven that makes is so much better than cooking it in a slow cooker.
