Hunk of Meat Monday: Italian Beef

Sometimes you go to the old, tried and true recipes. Because your tired. Because you know it will be effortless. Because your gonna be busy in the days to come and want the leftovers. I bring you…Italian Beef. Crock pot style of course.

Start with your hunk of meat. Grab a roast. Any roast. It can be an arm roast, round, rump, sirloin. Doesn’t matter. Grab some Italian dry seasoning mix and a beer.

Put the roast, frozen or thawed, into the crock pot. Pour the entire beer over top.

Pour one to two packages of Italian seasoning mix over top and into beer.

I usually do one packet per two pounds of meat. Walk away and let cook over night or for several hours on high.

It should look something like this when you come back to it. Cut, rip, tear apart then.
Remove any fat or bones that may be in the roast now. Make your dog happy. And then let it do it’s thing for a little longer. If you cooked it overnight and this is where you are at before you left for work, put the crock pot on low. If you want to eat in three hours, keep it on high.
And when you come back to it once more, give it a good stir and enjoy. There are no rules on how to eat it. My kids like it very different.
 With cheese.
 On very little bread.
 Makes the Princess happy.
 On Hawaiian bread.
For my Boo.
So, now it is your turn. What will you be sharing with us this week? I can’t wait to get more go to ideas. Let your readers know where they can get some new recipes too.

  1. Oh my…that Italian Beef Sandwich looks so good. Thank you for sharing your recipe and hosting us today. Your children are precious! You have a great week!

  2. I'm with Boo though I do like the thin bread…when's lunch?

  3. I just put this together in my slowcooker, although I didn't have the Good Seasonings mix, just used Italian seasoning, dried onions, fennel.
    I'll get a pic up on my blog when it's finished tonight! With a link to yours, of course!

    This is something that I am absolutely going to try. I just showed my husband this recipe and he said I have to make it :-) Thanks!

  5. I'm running to the kitchen to pour a can of beer over my rump….roast that is ;-)

  6. This looks really, really good and I will be cooking this….this week. Totally our type of thing for supper.

  7. That is going on the next meal plan. Looks so good and the leftovers could be used a number of ways!

  8. So here I go changing up one of your recipes again! I didn't have any roasts left (we get new beef Wed.) so I decided to use a Round Steak since we aren't a big fan of round steak on the grill. I'm sure it will turn out fine though! Thanks for the idea (at least we helped each other out with the idea early in the weekend!!)

    This looks awesome! I have a roast in the freezer that I have been waiting to use on the right recipe, and I am all about the crockpot. I will definitely be returning for another Meat Monday! Wonderful idea to spread the good word of beef.

  10. Yep, a round steak worked just fine! Very yummy!!

  11. You have the best crockpot ideas! I made your pork chop with apples and stuffing the other night and it was fabulous! Keep them coming—I am a busy girl, the crockpot is my best friend!

  12. This looks so easy but so delicious. Love the Italian idea. By the way, I'm holding a giveaway on my blog for Orglamix Organic makeup and you're welcome to come by and enter. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2010/12/orglamix-organic-mineral-makeup-review.html

  13. i would love that with polenta and risotto! I can actually taste the juice from the crock pot.. well done!!

  14. I know this was posted almost 2 years ago, but if you are still here I have questions. You did not add any water? What if the bottle of beer doesn’t cover the meat? Also I could not find the packet that you had so I googled italian seasoning and just threw some things together. I am a little worried about having it on high for too long, what is the worst that will happen? Because that will happen to me. lol
    Thanks for the “easy” receipe (I dont cook)
