CHICAGO STYLE ITALIAN BEEF SANDWICHES

1 (4 pound) chuck roast
3 cups water
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
2 beef bouillon cubes
3 pepperoncini peppers, seeded and sliced
2 teaspoons fennel seed
Salt and pepper to taste
2 green bell peppers, sliced
1/4 cup pepperoncini juice
1 to 2 cans good beef broth (if needed)
Hot crusty Italian beef buns or hard rolls (for serving)

Put chuck roast and 3 cups water in crock pot.

Cover crock pot and cook on LOW for 8 to 9 hours, until meat is tender. Remove meat from crock pot; reserve broth.

Pick through cooked meat and remove all fat. Shred meat. In a large pan add meat, broth from crock pot, oregano, sesame seeds, beef bouillon cubes, pepperoncini, fennel seed (do not omit this), salt and pepper, green peppers and pepperoncini juice from peppers. If you don't have enough broth from the crock pot, add 1 to 2 cans of good beef broth to the meat. Heat for about 30 minutes.

Serve on hot crusty Italian beef buns or hard rolls.
