Refrigerate and use for oil or in recipes for extra flavor!

When cold protein hits heat, surface moisture is released first.
Until that moisture evaporates, browning cannot begin.

Reduce the chill. Dry the surface.
Then let heat do its work.

Add garlic, diced white onion, pepperoncini peppers (with some brine), and cracked pepper to the crock pot. Place the stick of unsalted butter on top.

Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

To assemble the Mississippi Pot Roast Sub:

Toast the sub buns in the oven with cheese on top until melted.

Spread muffaletta on the other side of the buns. Pile the shredded Mississippi Pot Roast on top of the muffaletta spread. Close the buns to make a sandwich.

The way you cut an onion decides the flavor.
Pole to pole keeps the fibers long so the onion tastes softer and sweeter.
Equator cuts break more cells which releases sulfur and creates a sharper bite.

If your sauté tastes harsh or your salad tastes flat, the cut is usually the reason.

Save this and try it the next time you cook.
