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.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ½ pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 2-inch pieces
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
6 cloves garlic, sliced
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 ½ teaspoons salt, or to taste

1 cup chopped giardiniera (pickled Italian vegetables)
2 teaspoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Place tops on sandwich. Repeat with remaining buns, broth, meat, and pickled vegetables to make 3 more sandwiches.

  • Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help it hold up better to the sandwich fillings and prevent it from getting soggy.
  • Butter the bread: Buttering the bread will add a touch of richness and flavor to the sandwich.
  • Layer the ingredients carefully: To ensure that the sandwich is evenly cooked and the flavors meld together, layer the ingredients carefully. Start with a layer of bread, then add the roast beef, cheese, and any other desired toppings.
  • Cook the sandwich slowly and carefully: Cook the sandwich slowly over medium heat, so that the cheese has time to melt and the bread has time to toast.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately: Once the sandwich is cooked, serve it immediately so that the bread is still crispy and the cheese is gooey.
