Ingredients

1 (3 lb.) beef chuck roast
2 Tablespoons olive oil
freshly ground black pepper
1 (.7 oz.) packet dry Italian seasoning/salad dressing mix
1 packet dry au jus gravy mix
10-12 pepperoncini peppers, plus ½ cup juice from the jar
¼ cup butter
8 ciabatta rolls
8 slices provolone cheese
butter
mayonnaise

Instructions

Season the roast with pepper (no need to salt it as there will be plenty of salt in the seasoning packets already). Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the oil. Brown the roast on all sides in the hot oil, then transfer to a large slow cooker. This step can be skipped, if you don't have time.
Dump the packets of Italian seasoning and au jus gravy mix, along with the pepperoncini peppers, ½ cup of their juice, and the butter, right on top of the roast. Cover and cook on LOW for 8-10 hours or on HIGH for 5-6 hours, until the beef shreds easily with a fork.
Once the meat is shredded, butter and toast the buns, then spread with a thin layer of mayonnaise. Pile the shredded pot roast onto the bottom buns and top with a slice of Provolone cheese. Toast under a broiler just until the cheese is melted, then top with the remaining buns and enjoy!
