Portillo's Italian Beef Sandwich [0000153]

Ingredients:

2 pounds gluten-free beef roast (such as chuck roast)
1 cup gluten-free beef broth
1 packet gluten-free Italian salad dressing mix
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
4 gluten-free sub rolls or sandwich buns
Sliced gluten-free pickled pepperoncini peppers (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

Place the beef roast in a slow cooker.

In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free beef broth, Italian salad dressing mix, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Pour the seasoning mixture over the beef roast in the slow cooker.

Cook the beef on low heat for 8-10 hours or until it's tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.

Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and let it soak in the flavorful juices for an additional 30 minutes on low heat.

Split the gluten-free sub rolls or sandwich buns and lightly toast them in the oven or on a griddle.

Assemble your Italian Beef Sandwiches by placing a generous portion of the shredded beef onto each bun.

If desired, garnish your sandwiches with sliced gluten-free pickled pepperoncini peppers for an extra kick.

Serve your gluten-free Portillo's Italian Beef Sandwiches with a side of au jus for dipping and enjoy the iconic flavors of this classic Chicago-style sandwich in a gluten-free version.
