Categories     main-dish

Time 2h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons dry sherry
4 cups low-sodium beef stock
1 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 star anise
1 bay leaf
1 clove garlic
2 cups thinly sliced radishes (about 8 ounces)
4 crusty hoagie rolls
1 pound Homemade Roast Beef, thinly sliced, recipe follows
8 thick slices gruyere
Watercress, for serving
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, minced
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
One 4-pound boneless beef eye round roast
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • For the au jus: Heat the oil over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Add the peppercorns, salt, thyme, garlic, rosemary and shallots. Cook the shallots, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the sherry and simmer, a few minutes. Add the stock and simmer, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the liquid. Keep warm.
  • For the pickled radishes: Simmer 1/2 cup water, the vinegar, sugar, coriander seeds, salt, star anise, bay leaf and garlic. After 10 minutes of simmering, pour the mixture over the radishes in a heat-proof container and cool.
  • For the sandwich build: Place the bottom halves of the rolls on a work surface. Place the sliced Homemade Roast Beef on the bottom. Top with 1 slice gruyere each, some pickled radishes and watercress. Cover with the tops of the rolls. Cut each sandwich in half, dunk into the au jus and realize sometimes leftovers are just better.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mix the rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper and garlic in a small bowl. Rub the mixture all over the roast, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, about 20 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over high heat. Wipe off the excess garlic and herbs and add the roast to the pan. Sear the roast on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the roast to a roasting pan with a rack. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 125 degrees F, about 50 minutes. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let rest, about 10 minutes. Thinly slice the roast and serve.

CHICAGO-INSPIRED ITALIAN BEEF SANDWICH



Chicago-Inspired Italian Beef Sandwich image

I tried to combine the traditional Italian beef sandwich with the French dip sandwich with a little nod to the pulled pork sandwich. Instead of using thinly sliced roast beef, I used stew beef, with apologies to my friends from Chicago.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 1h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ½ pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 2-inch pieces

2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 ½ teaspoons salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon dried thyme

3 cups chicken broth, or as needed
4 ciabatta rolls, sliced in half
1 cup chopped giardiniera (pickled Italian vegetables)
2 teaspoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Skim excess grease from top of broth remaining in the first pot; season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover pot with a lid or aluminum foil and keep broth warm.
  • Lay halves of a roll out on a work surface and spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons meat broth over each half. Top bottom half of roll with a generous portion of meat and a spoonful of pickled vegetables. Place tops on sandwich. Repeat with remaining buns, broth, meat, and pickled vegetables to make 3 more sandwiches.
  • Spoon hot meat broth into ramekins and top each ramekin with 1/2 teaspoon parsley. Serve sandwiches with hot broth for dipping.

CHICAGO-ITALIAN ROAST BEEF SANDWICH



Chicago-Italian Roast Beef Sandwich image

In 2004, my husband and I spent a weekend in Chicago to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. It was a chilly, windy October morning when we ventured from our downtown hotel to see the sites. We arrived at the Navy Pier cold, tired and hungry. Little did I know that the steaming hot roast beef sandwich I ordered from an Italian vendor there would be one of the tastiest lunches I had ever had. Here is my version of the awesome sandwich I had that memorable day. *Chef's Note*: Don't let the addition of giardiniera scare you. You can use more, or less, to taste. But don't leave it out completely, because it adds so much flavor and just wouldn't be the same without it!
