Lily's Italian Beef

Italian Beef

I've gotten a ton of compliments on this Italian Beef recipe! It may seem like a lot of ingredients but that's why this is sooo flavorful compared to other recipes.
 Even if you don't have all of the ingredients if you can get most of them this will still be delicious.
I recommend purchasing the Badia Complete Seasoning and the Cavendar's All-Purpose Greek Seasoning if you do not already have it in your spice cabinet because you will use this in a ton more dishes. They are great for almost everything so no money will be wasted there.
The mustard and the pepperoncini brine ensure that this beef is nice and zippy (if that's a real word lol) but its necessary for this recipe don't skip it!!
The beef base and soy sauce amp up the beefy flavor while all the herbs & seasonings lend this dish tons of flavor!!
I tend to make this at least the day before I plan to serve it that way all of the juices and flavors have time to soak up into the meat and make it so juicy and delicious!

This is the beef after searing and adding the seasonings but before cooking.

• 3-4 Lbs Beef Chuck Steak
• 1 Thickly sliced onion
• 7 Pepperoncini  and ¼ cup of the brine
• spicy peppers of your choice (optional- use best judgement on amount)
