Ingredient Breakdown

• Chuck roast – The star of the dish. A well-marbled cut that becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender when slow cooked. Brisket or bottom round can work as substitutes.
• Oil & butter – Helps with searing and adds richness to the roast.
• Onions & bell peppers – Classic cheesesteak veggies that add sweetness and depth. Any color peppers will work!
• Seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika) – A simple but flavorful blend that enhances the beef.
• Fresh garlic – Adds extra punch and warmth to the roast.
• Beef broth – Keeps the meat moist and creates delicious pan juices. Chicken broth or vegetable broth can be used in a pinch.
• Provolone cheese – The signature cheesesteak topping. Mozzarella or Swiss can also be used.

Oven Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. Season chuck roast liberally with the spice blend. Cut into smaller pieces if needed to fit your Dutch oven.
3. Place roast in the pot, then top with peppers, onions, butter, and beef broth.
4. Cover and bake for 3–4 hours until fork-tender.
5. Remove from oven, shred with two forks, and top with provolone cheese until melted.
6. Serve warm over rice, mashed potatoes, or hoagie rolls.

Crockpot Instructions

1. Rub chuck roast with oil and seasonings, then place into the crockpot.
   Optional: Sear the roast in a skillet first for extra flavor.
2. Add onions, peppers, butter, and beef broth.
3. Cover and cook on low for 8–10 hours until tender.
4. Shred meat with two forks, return to juices, and top with provolone cheese.

Tips for Success

• Low and slow is best – Don’t rush the cooking time. The longer it cooks, the more tender the roast.
• Sear for flavor – If you have time, quickly sear the roast before slow cooking.
• Cheese it up – Add extra provolone or even a cheese sauce for a richer, cheesier bite.
• Meal prep friendly – This pot roast reheats beautifully and tastes even better the next day.

Serving Suggestions
