Comfort Food


Beef:
4 pounds beef chuck roast
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
One 16-ounce jar pepperoncini
2 cups beef broth
Caramelized Onions:
2 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions, sliced
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

This can be used for tacos or as sandwiches. Recommend to serve with Provolone Cheese.

Special equipment: a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker
For the beef: Toss the roast in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker with the rosemary, salt and a generous grinding of pepper. Add the pepperoncini with their liquid and the beef broth. Cover and cook on low until the meat is very tender and easy to pull apart, 7 to 8 hours.
For the caramelized onions: When the slow cooker has about 15 minutes left, heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
Remove the roast to a bowl and shred using 2 forks, then return it to the slow cooker to keep warm.

Serve as you please, leftovers can be frozen, be sure to keep in the liquid to keep moist when reheating.

Good
