Ingredients
Instructions
Sear the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Brown the beef on all sides for 3-4 minutes. Transfer beef to a slow cooker.
Slow Cook the Beef: In the slow cooker, add beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, onion, garlic, oregano, basil, and black pepper. Stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the beef shreds easily.
Shred the Beef: Once the beef is tender, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return shredded beef to the slow cooker and mix it into the juices.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Slice the sub rolls and lightly toast them if preferred. Pile the shredded beef onto each roll. Top with giardiniera and cheese (optional), then drizzle with some of the cooking juices.
Serve: Serve the sandwiches hot, with extra giardiniera on the side if desired.
