These easy recipe for gluten free Italian beef is so simple! In addition to being easy to throw together, you only need a few simple ingredients to make Italian roast beef. To make your own slow cooker Italian beef, you’ll need:

One of my favorite things about this recipe for slow cooker Italian roast beef is that the meat is always gluten free and low-carb. It’s great when eaten alone, but so much better as a sandwich. Luckily, I was able to find Schar Gluten Free Ciabatta bread at Wal-Mart (you can also purchase it on Amazon). These rolls are perfect for making gluten free Italian beef sandwiches!

Now that you’ve found the perfect bread for your Italian roast beef sandwiches, let’s get the meat ready! Here is how to make slow cooker Italian beef.

Make Your Own Italian Roast Beef

Start by preparing your meat by placing your chuck roast in the bowl of your slow cooker and covering it with beef broth. I used a two pound chuck roast and got around five servings from my cut of meat.

Season with my own homemade Italian beef seasoning — a blend of Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley. Mix all the herbs and spices together in a small bowl, then sprinkle the mixture over the top of the meat. Rub the seasoning into the meat to ensure it sticks as it cooks.

Then, top the meat with your favorite peppers. I love the sweet and tangy flavor banana peppers give my Italian roast beef. Another popular pepper choice for Italian beef are pepperocini peppers. Whichever pepper you choose, place them on top of the meat, along with juice from the jar to add some extra flavoring to the au jus.

Depending on how much time you have to cook your meat, set your slow cooker to low or high. If you plan to cook your meat all day, opt for the low setting — it takes around six hours for the meet to cook through on low. For a quicker cook time, set the slow cooker on high. It will cook in three to four hours on high.

When the meat is finished cooking, remove it from the slow cooker and shred the meat with a fork. Remove any fat from the meat as you shred, then place the shredded meat back into the slow cooker and stir to combine the meat with the juices.

These slow cooker Italian beef sandwiches taste great when topped with provolone cheese and a few extra banana peppers for an extra kick. And don’t forget to fill a dipping cup with a little bit of au jus to add some extra flavor to each bite!
