2. Add Seasonings and Beer: Pour in the Italian seasoning mix, onion soup mix, and au jus mix over the roast. Then, add both peppers with their juices.

3. Cover with Liquid: Ensure the roast is covered with enough liquid. If needed, pour in additional beer or water to just cover the top of the roast.

4. Slow Cook: Set the crockpot to low heat and cook for a minimum of 8 hours. The longer, the better!

5. Remove and Cool: Once cooked, carefully remove the roast from the crockpot and allow it to cool until it’s easy to handle.

6. Shred the Meat: “Pick” the meat, separating and removing any excess fat. The roast should effortlessly fall apart into tender pieces.

7. Return to Crockpot: Place the shredded meat back into the crockpot, ensuring it’s submerged in the flavorful juices.

8. Continue Cooking: Cook for an additional 6-8 hours to further enhance the flavors.

9. Serve and Enjoy: We recommend cooking the roast for the initial 8 hours the day before serving and completing the additional cooking on the serving day for maximum flavor. Serve the succulent Italian beef on crusty sweet bread or your favorite roll, and savor every juicy bite!
