Place a slow cooker liner in the base of a slow cooker for easy clean up.
Italian Seasoning:
In a small bowl, mix together the basil, marjoram, oregano, parsley, granulated garlic, rosemary, thyme and red pepper flakes. Store in a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Beef:
Combine the chuck roast, bell peppers, onions, garlic, tomatoes, Italian seasoning, fennel seeds, 2 1/2 t. salt and pepper in the slow cooker. Cook on the Low for 8 hours.
When beef is done, use a ladle/spoon to remove/discard some of the excess fat from the surface; on a cutting board or platter, coarsely shred beef with 2 forks. Season with salt and pepper.
Aioli:
Place the egg, garlic and Dijon mustard in a food processor; pulse to combine. With the motor running, add both oils in a very slow, steady stream until all is incorporated; add in the giardiniera; pulse until chopped. Season with salt and pepper.
Spread about 2 T. aioli on both sides of the bread. Assemble sandwiches with the shredded beef.
Serve immediately.
Makes 8 sandwiches.
*The beef can be browned before placing in the slow cooker, if you wish.
