Best Slow Cooker Italian Beef Sandwiches

Start by searing the beef in a hot skillet with oil (be careful!). This helps to begin the cooking process and sear the beef which brings out the flavor.

Place the beef roast in the slow cooker and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Italian dressing mix. Pour in beef broth and 1/2 of the jar of pepperoncini peppers with juice, reserving the rest of the pepperoncini peppers to place on the sandwiches. Cook on low for 8 hours. Once it is done cooking, shred with two forks.

When the beef is almost ready, prepare the caramelized onions. Add 4 Tablespoons of butter, reserving the other 4 Tablespoons for the buns, to a skillet on medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and cook low and slow for about 15-20 minutes, stirring often until the onions are softened and a golden brown color. If the onions are browning too quickly, you can always reduce the heat.
