CHICAGO-STYLE ITALIAN BEEF SANDWICH

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Time 5h5m

Yield 6 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 boneless beef chuck eye roast (about 3 1/2 pounds), tied with butcher's twine
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
6 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1/2 cup dry red wine
5 cups beef stock (or enough to submerge the roast about three-quarters of the way)
2 sprigs fresh thyme
4 green bell peppers, cut into 1-inch-wide strips
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 soft hinged French rolls (preferably from Turano or Gonnella bakeries)
Oil-packed hot giardiniera, for topping

Steps:

  • For the pot roast: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 300 degrees F.
  • Liberally sprinkle the entire roast with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides until golden and caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes per side; reduce the heat if the fat begins to smoke. Transfer the roast to a plate and reduce the heat to medium.
  • Add the onions and a pinch of salt and saute, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper and garlic and saute until fragrant, another minute. Deglaze with the red wine, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Simmer until reduced by about half, another 2 to 5 minutes. Add the stock and thyme and bring to a simmer. Adjust the seasoning of the liquid.
  • Put the roast back in the pot with any accumulated juices and place in the oven, covered. Cook the roast, turning every 30 minutes and uncovering the pot for the last 30 minutes of cooking, until very tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and tent with foil. Increase the oven temperature to 350 degrees F for the peppers and bread.
  • For the sweet peppers: Toss the pepper strips with the olive oil, granulated garlic and some salt and pepper on a baking sheet. Bake, stirring halfway through, until lighter in color and softened, about 45 minutes.
  • Strain the pot roast jus through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl and return to the pot. Bring to a simmer and simmer until reduced slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. Adjust the seasoning if necessary. Keep warm.
  • Once the meat has cooled a bit, remove the twine. Pull the meat into smaller chunks and return to the reduced jus until ready to build the sandwiches.
  • For the sandwich build: Rub the rolls with some of the giardiniera oil and toast in the oven until golden brown and crispy, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Place some beef on a roll, then some sweet peppers (with some of the oil they were cooked in), followed by some hot giardiniera. Pour a small dish of reduced jus. Quickly dunk the whole sandwich in the hot jus, then wrap in deli paper or parchment paper and wait for 2 to 3 minutes while the magic happens. Repeat with the remaining rolls and toppings. When ready, open up and eat!

CHICAGO-STYLE ITALIAN BEEF SANDWICHES



Chicago-Style Italian Beef Sandwiches image

Makes 8 servings (it depends on how much you put in each sandwich, you may get 10) Oven 325°F at 25 minutes per pound of meat

Provided by Joseph Strain

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time P2D

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 rump roast
2 cups boiling water
2 beef bouillon cubes
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (or more)
salt and pepper, go easy on the salt because the bouillon is salty
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 garlic clove, I use at least 6, peeled and mashed
1 chopped green pepper
1 loaf French bread or 1 loaf crusty bread

Steps:

  • Place roast on a rack, in an open roasting pan, I use an 9" X 13" (230mm x 330mm) baking pan with the rack in it. Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees (165 C), allowing 25 minutes per pound (55 min per kilo) , roast will be rare.
  • Cool, and slice very thin, I use an electric slicer to do this. To the drippings in the pan, add the boiling water, bouillon cubes or granules, (1 bouillon cube for each cup of boiling water used). Add marjoram, thyme, oregano, hot pepper sauce, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, garlic cloves, and chopped green pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes. Add the thinly sliced beef and cover. Marinate in gravy in refrigerator overnight.
  • Next day, heat thoroughly, and serve warm on the French bread, along with a crisp, green salad and plenty of napkins!
  • Note: Our family loves the gravy so much that I usually double the gravy recipe so there is plenty to dip the beef sandwich into. We also like to put a lot of gravy on the bread before adding the meat. Sometimes we add barbecue sauce to the sandwich before eating it, for a different flavor, not a lot, just a touch, about 1 Tablespoon or less to taste.
