Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup sliced pepperoncini
1/4 cup sliced pickled jalapeños
1/4 cup sliced roasted red peppers
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon pepperoncini liquid
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds sirloin steak, trimmed of excess fat and frozen for 10 to 15 minutes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 hero rolls, split
12 slices provolone

Steps:

  • For the giardiniera: Combine the carrots, pepperoncini, jalapeños, roasted red peppers, olive oil, pepperoncini liquid, garlic powder and pepper in a bowl. Toss well, then set aside.
  • For the beef: Remove the sirloin from the freezer and, using a mandoline or a sharp knife, cut into very thin strips against the grain. Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large saute pan. Add the beef and sauté until starting to brown, but still pink, about 2 minutes. Add the Italian seasoning and garlic, then cook for 30 seconds. Add the broth and vinegar, then bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat.
  • Place 3 slices of provolone on each roll. Top with the hot beef. Sprinkle with some of the giardiniera. Serve with extra broth on the side for dipping.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 pounds beef chuck roast
3 (1 ounce) packages dry Italian salad dressing mix
1 cup water
1 (16 ounce) jar pepperoncini peppers
8 hamburger buns, split

Steps:

  • Place the roast into a slow cooker, and season with Italian dressing mix. Pour in the water. Cover, and cook on High for 6 to 7 hours.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a chuck roast that is well-marbled with fat.
  • Brown the roast in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat until it is browned on all sides. This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for at least 2 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender.
  • Serve the Italian beef with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crusty loaf of bread.
  • For a more flavorful sandwich, toast the bread and top it with melted cheese before adding the Italian beef.
