"I make this beef in the slow cooker when I'm having a party so I don't have to spend the whole time in the kitchen," reports Lori Hayes, Venice, Florida. "The meat smells so delicious, I can hardly keep my husband from helping himself ahead of time!" For a robust sandwich, serve the shredded beef on a roll spread with horseradish sauce.

Steps:
- For the dry rub: Mix together the basil, oregano, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and salt.
- For the meat: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add the beef stock and 1 quart water to a roasting pan. Place the beef roast on a perforated pan and set into the roasting pan. Coat the entire roast with the dry rub. Cover tightly with foil and place in the oven. Cook until the center of the roast reaches 140 degrees F, about 30 minutes per pound.
- Refrigerate the roast for at least 2 hours (the beef must be cold to slice properly). Slice as thinly as possible.
- For the gravy: While the beef is cooking, combine the beef base, black pepper, garlic, celery, bay leaves, onions and 1 gallon cold water in a stockpot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for at least 1 hour. (The longer the gravy simmers, the stronger it gets.) Strain and keep hot.
- To serve, drop a portion of sliced beef into the hot gravy; heat until hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Place the beef on a hoagie roll, add some giardiniera and enjoy.

We enjoy slicing the roast as for a traditional roast beef, but many enjoy it shredded and piled high on buns. Great flavor and your house will smell wonderful as it cooks.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your Beef Italiano. Use fresh, high-quality beef, vegetables, and herbs.
- Brown the beef in batches: This will help to prevent the beef from overcrowding the pan and steaming instead of searing. Brown the beef in a single layer so that it gets a nice crust.
- Use a good quality red wine: The red wine in Beef Italiano adds flavor and depth to the dish. Choose a red wine that you enjoy drinking, as the flavor of the wine will come through in the dish.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 1 hour: This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together. The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will taste.
- Serve with your favorite pasta: Beef Italiano is traditionally served with spaghetti, but you can use any type of pasta that you like. Some other good options include penne, rigatoni, and fettuccine.
Conclusion:
Beef Italiano is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve to company, as it is sure to impress. With its rich, flavorful sauce and tender beef, Beef Italiano is a dish that everyone will love.
