1

Generously season the roast on all sides with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2

Heat a pan over medium-high until very hot. Add olive oil. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, holding the roast to brown the edges, 5 to 10 minutes. Move the roast to the slow cooker. Pour in the broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up the browned bits. Add Worcestershire sauce. Pour this mixture over the roast in the slow cooker.
3

Add the tomatoes, pepperoncini peppers with their juice, garlic, and Italian seasoning to the slow cooker. Turn the roast a few times to coat. Cover the slow cooker and cook on High for 4 hours.
4

Add the bell peppers and the onion to the slow cooker, tossing to combine. Continue cooking on High for 1 more hour.
5

Shred the beef and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the beef and sauce rest in the slow cooker on Warm until ready to serve.

Meanwhile, toast the hoagie rolls, if desired. Top the rolls with the shredded beef and add provolone cheese to each.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
