    • Kosher salt<\/span><\/li>

    • 8<\/span> ounces<\/span> giardiniera pickled vegetables<\/span> mild or spicy drained, plus additional for serving (look for chopped versus whole)<\/span><\/li>
    • Provolone cheese slices for serving<\/span><\/li>
    • Hoagie buns for serving<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>

      Seasoning*<\/h4>
      • 1<\/span> Tablespoon<\/span> Italian seasoning<\/span><\/li>
      • 2<\/span> teaspoons<\/span> sugar<\/span><\/li>
      • 1<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> garlic powder<\/span><\/li>
      • 1<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> onion powder<\/span><\/li>
      • 1\/2<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> kosher salt<\/span><\/li>
      • 1\/2<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> black pepper<\/span><\/li>
      • 1\/4<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> thyme<\/span> dried ground<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n

        Instructions<\/h3>
        • Wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Season the beef all over with kosher salt. Let the meat rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, measure the other spices and seasonings. In a small bowl, stir together the seasoning ingredients; set aside.<\/div><\/li>
        • Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high. Once it is hot, sear the meat on all sides until golden brown, moving it as little as possible so that it develops a nice crust. Transfer the meat to the slow cooker.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Wash the counter and utensils that touched the raw meat. Wash hands with soap and water after handling raw meat.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Turn the heat to medium. Carefully add in a small amount of the broth, and with a wooden spoon, scrape up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Pour the liquid and any bits into the slow cooker on top of the beef.<\/div><\/li>
        • Sprinkle the seasoning mix on top of the beef.<\/div><\/li>
        • Add the pepperoncini peppers and juice. Add the drained giardiniera.<\/div><\/li>
        • Pour in the remaining broth.<\/div><\/li>
        • Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours or until meat shreds easily with a fork. Shred the beef, then stir it together with the juices; cover and cook on low for 30 additional minutes.<\/div><\/li>
        • To serve, split the hoagie buns and, if desired, toast on a baking sheet in the oven at 350\u00b0F for 5 to 7 minutes. Fill the bread with the shredded Italian beef and top with provolone, pepperoncini, and giardiniera as desired. Enjoy!<\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n
