This is great for buffets or pitch-in meals.  Can be made ahead through step 6 in advance.  Refrigerate and reheat thoroughly the next day.  If you keep it warm in a crockpot it is fabulous!

  • Rump or arm roast – approximately 1/4 lb per person to be served
  • Cloves of garlic cut into thirds
  • Jar of hot banana peppers
  • Fennel seed
  • Vegetable broth (can substitute water)
  • Crusty sourdough hoagie or Kaiser rolls
  1. Preheat oven to 3500F.
  2. Cut slits into roast approximately 1” apart and deep into the meat.  Stuff each slit with a clove of garlic and some banana peppers.
  3. Cover roast with vegetable broth or water.
  4. Sprinkle fennel seed on top
  5. Roast until fork tender – approximately 3 hrs.
  6. Let cool.  Cut meat against grain and put it back into the broth.
  7. Serve on crusty rolls with hot peppers on the side.
