Pepperoncinis Beef Sandwiches

LOOOVVVEEEE THIS!!!  Can't go wrong with pepperoncinis!!  I am not only obsessed with the taste - but the fact that it's a crock pot meal.....AMAZING!!  It's super fast - super easy - and super yummy!!  Going to have this again soon!!  :)
Makes 12 sandwiches - OBB
Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt / pepper
2 tablespoons of olive or cooking oil
3 lb beef roast, trimmed of excess fat
4-5 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
16-oz. jar sliced pepperoncinis, undrained
Crusty sandwich rolls (for sandwiches)
Sliced provolone cheese (for sandwiches)

Heat oil in a pot or high-sided skillet over high heat. While the oil is heating, combine the salt and pepper and rub it into the meat. Add more if necessary. When the oil is hot, sear the roast on all sides so the outsides of it is browned and a little crispy. Transfer the roast to a slow cooker and add the minced garlic and the entire jar of pepperoncinis. If possible, cook on high until the liquid comes to a boil and then turn it to low and cook until the roast shreds easily with a fork, for a total cooking time of about 6-8 hours. If not possible, cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the beef is fork tender.

For sandwiches, slice the rolls and spread lightly with mayonnaise and then top with the shredded beef. Add a slice of provolone cheese and then place under the broiler for 1-3 minutes or until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
