What kind of roast is best for this recipe?
This recipe really will work with just about any beef roast. It’s especially made for the cheaper cuts of beef roasts like a pot roast or bottom round. These cuts have marbling throughout the meat that breaks down in cooking for juicy, flavorful shredded beef. A brisket will work as well, and will result in a “richer” flavor profile.
The Italian “dressing”
When we first tried this recipe, I cooked the roast in the dressing, hoping to really get the Italian flavor into the meat. Unfortunately, it didn’t exactly turn out that way. It was kind of bland. So instead of cooking the meat with the dressing, I decided to toss the dressing with the shredded beef after cooking. Using this method results in much better flavor and you really can taste the tangy, peppery and herby notes that the Italian dressing adds.
How should I serve this Italian Beef?
Depending on your dietary wants and needs, this is a really versatile recipe. You can keep it low carb and serve it with cauliflower rice or greens. Stuffed in a regular or sweet potato would be great too, or over some white rice. Also, you could go the traditional route and make a sandwich. Whatever you choose, I know you’ll love the flavor of this Italian beef!
