Italian Beef

2-3 lbs of beef roast
Italian seasonings (parsley, basil, rosemary, oregano)
Salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder
Olive oil, Italian dressing, and water
Optional: Provolone or mozzarella cheese and Italian rolls

Cut the roast into manageable chunks. A couple of long strips work best
Place the beef into the crock pot and add 1/2 cup of olive oil and a few splashes of Italian dressing
Add seasonings to taste

Cover the beef with water
Crock it for at least 6 hours
When the beef is tender enough, remove it and separate it using two forks
Empty most of the broth from the crock pot, setting it aside because you may need it
Place the shredded beef back in the pot, and add some broth to keep it juicy. For best flavor, you can refrigerate it overnight before serving
If desired, serve on Italian rolls with provolone or mozzarella cheese, or simply serve it straight up
