Time P2DT3h30m

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 30

Baguette (if I have to tell you what kind of bread to use, you probably shouldn't be making this sandwich)
Roast and Beef Juice, recipe follows
3 Sweet Peppers, recipe follows
Giardiniera, recipe follows
1 cup Italian seasoning
1 cup fine sea salt
1/3 cup ground black pepper
1/4 cup granulated garlic
1/4 cup granulated onion
1/4 cup dried oregano
One 1 1/2- to 2-pound sirloin roast
1/4 cup olive oil
Beef base, if needed
1 green bell pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, for cooking
Salt and pepper
3 cups white vinegar
3 tablespoons fine sea salt
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons oregano
2 1/2 tablespoons crushed red pepper
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 carrots
2 stalks celery
2 yellow onions
2 green bell peppers
2 red bell peppers
2 jalapenos
1 serrano pepper
1 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cut bread two-thirds of the way through. Toast bread in oven until crispy on outside.
  • Drop sliced Roast into simmering Beef Juice. Jam beef in baguette. Dip sammich in beef juice pot.
  • Drop Sweet Peppers into Beef Juice to get hot and wet.
  • Add Giardiniera to sammich. Drape peppers across the beef.
  • Serve with more Beef Juice on the side.
  • Mix together the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, granulated garlic and onion and oregano in a bowl until combined.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cover roast with spice mix (you will have some spice mix left over). Drizzle olive oil over top of roast. Place roast on a rack with water in the bottom of the pan (don't let the water touch the meat). Roast until the internal temperature registers 118 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 1 hour. Let roast cool. Reserve the juice.
  • Thin-slice roast, as thin as you can. Can't slice thin? You are screwed. Or you can buy your chef friend a six-pack and she will do it for you. Save beef scraps!
  • Portion roast slices into 5- to 7-ounce balls.
  • Pour all the extra juice and beef scraps in a pot. If there's not enough juice, add some beef base and some water. Taste. Make sure it's not too salty. Simmer for 1 hour, strain and put juice back on to simmer.
  • Split pepper in half, then clean white membrane out of it. Cut halves into thirds.
  • Heat saute pan on high heat. Once hot, add olive oil. Drop in peppers skin-side down. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Let pepper blister and char, then flip peppers and cook for another 2 minutes. Turn heat off and let peppers rest.
  • Put the vinegar, salt, garlic, oregano, crushed red pepper, black pepper and 2 cups cold water into a 4-quart container and stir until the salt has dissolved.
  • Cut carrots, celery, onions, green peppers and red peppers into 1/3-inch uniform dice.
  • Thinly slice jalapenos and serrano (approximately 1/8-inch thick).
  • Place cut veggies into brine and stir well until all ingredients are combined.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 2 days. Stir in olive oil.

" DA BEST" CHICAGO-STYLE ITALIAN BEEF



Tender, garlicky and full of oregano 'n stuff! Start this one a day ahead; the beef slices need an overnight stay in da gravy to be at their best. And please don't overcook the roast! As it rests right out of the oven and as it's reheated it'll stop mooing! Serve on crusty Italian sandwich rolls; add sauteed peppers if you like, but too much more and it starts looking like a Philly steak 'n cheese, a whole other beast. Prep time includes overnight marinating.

COOKING THE EPISODE: THE BEAR'S ITALIAN BEEF SANDWICH IS THE MOST ICONIC SANDWICH IN CHICAGO



Cooking the Episode: The Bear's Italian Beef Sandwich Is the Most Iconic Sandwich In Chicago image

Never had a Chicago Italian Beef sandwich before? Here's how the iconic meat sandwich got its name and how to make the recipe at home, inspired by 'The Bear' on FX.

Provided by Theresa Greco

Time 10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 lb top sirloin or top round
2 Tbsp dried oregano
1.5 Tbsp garlic powder
1.5 Tbsp onion powder
1.5 Tbsp dried basil
1.5 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp pepper
½ cup salt
1 quart grapeseed oil
2 quart beef stock
2 whole heads garlic
2 large carrots
2 quartered onions
1 whole stalk celery
1 quart mild Giardinara
5 green bell peppers
sandwich rolls

Steps:

  • Chicago Italian Beef Sandwich Trim fat from beef and set aside, you can always use it as the fat base if you have a food processor but if you don't, cover the base of your pan with grapeseed oil. Season beef with salt and pepper. In a large rondeau heat grapeseed oil under medium / high heat. Sear beef on all sides to brown. Once browned, remove beef and rest on a half sheet tray with a cooling rack. Deglaze pan with your aromatics - the rough chopped, skin on, carrots, celery and garlic and stir with a wooden spoon to melt. Once all the fond has come up from the pan, deglaze with beef stock and stir. Mix in dried herbs, bouillon, and seasonings. Add beef back in with the torn or sliced green peppers, just make sure to remove all the seeds. Cook in oven set at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Checking internal temp to 140 degrees. Once your beef has cooked, take it out and let it rest until cool. Remove your peppers from the jus and place in to another large pot that is on very low heat, then strain your liquid to remove all the onions, celery, carrots, and garlic. Taste for seasoning and add salt if necessary. Once the beef has fully cooled and rested, thinly slice the beef about half an inch thickness if you can and place it all back in the jus with the peppers. Get all your buns ready to start building! Slice your bun in half and take a tong-full of your beef, lay it in gently, then stuff one of the peppers in there and top with your giardinara. Dip each corner into the jus and wrap up your sandwich in parchment or wax paper.

CHICAGO-STYLE ITALIAN BEEF SANDWICH



Chicago-Style Italian Beef Sandwich image

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.
