TOTALLY AWESOME SLOW COOKER ITALIAN BEEF SANDWICHES

Steps:

• 1. Chicago Italian Beef Sandwiches As the story goes: Italian Beef Sandwiches were created over 100 years ago, on the South Side of Chicago in the Italian neighborhoods around the now defunct Stockyards. The classic Chicago Italian Beef Sandwich is a unique, drippy, messy variation on the French Dip Sandwich. It can be found in hundreds of places around the city but rarely can you find it outside of Chicago. The recipe was popularized by Pasquale Scala, a South Side butcher and sausage maker. During the Depression food was scarce and Scala's thinly sliced roast beef on a bun with gravy and fried peppers took off. His family still runs a business that supplies the ingredients to the sandwiches to restaurants and curbside vendors around the Southside of the city.
• 2. Gather your ingredients.
• 3. Chef's Tip: I use a chuck roast because it shreds very easily, and tastes good, to boot. Plus it's the traditional cut of beef still used today, by the Scala family.
• 4. Add the beef stock and vinegar to a saucepan, and bring to a boil.
• 5. Add about 2.5 tablespoons of the dry spices, (don't forget the bay leaf) then reduce the heat and lightly simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Take the remainder of the dry spices, place into an airtight container, and reserve for another use.
• 6. Chef's Note: The goal here is not to lose too much liquid, but to infuse the flavors of the spices into the beef stock. A light simmer with hardly any movement in the liquid is all you need. But it's an important step, so don't skip it.
• 7. Place the roast into the slow cooker and pour the hot liquid over the roast.
• 8. Cook on low for 10 hours.
• 9. Chef's Note: Keep some additional beef broth on hand. If the roast begins to lose too much moisture, add more. As long as the roast is covered in liquid, you're fine.
• 10. At the 8-hour mark, remove the beef from the liquid, and discard the bay leaf.
• 11. Using a sharp knife, slice the beef, against the grain as thinly as possible, or shred it using two forks; whatever method you choose. In Chicago, I've had it served both ways, and both are wonderful.
• 12. Return the beef to the liquid in the slow cooker and allow it to continue to cook on low for an additional 2 hours, for a total of 10 hours.
• 13. Chef's Note: If you're using your slow cooker on high, remove the beef and shred at the 3-hour mark, and then continue to cook for an additional hour, for a total of 4 hours; however, the beef will have a richer flavor if you go low and slow.
• 14. Chef's Tip: If you want it a bit hotter, when you take the beef out to shred, throw in a couple of sliced peppers (your choice), and let them cook with the beef for those final hours.
• 15. Serve on some nice toasted hoagie rolls, and add a lot of that wonderful sauce. The bread will soak it up, and it will be divine. In Chicago they say: The wetter, the better" when it comes to Italian Beef Sandwiches.
• 16. Chef's Note: Whatever bread you choose, it's important that it have "wet" strength, so that it doesn't fall apart and turn into beef-gravy panade.
• 17. Chef's Note: Additional toppings include: sautéed mushrooms, sliced onions, additional chili peppers; maybe some cheese... go for it.
• 18. Serve with some chips, a side salad, or just solo. Oh, and don't forget to include lot of napkins. Enjoy.
• 19. Additional Serving Suggestion: Put the beef over rice, and pour on the sauce... lip-smacking good. The photo is a bit blurred, but it still tasted good.
• 20. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

SLOW-COOKER DRIP BEEF SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the beef: Toss the roast in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker with the rosemary, salt and a generous grinding of pepper. Add the pepperoncini with their liquid and the beef broth. Cover and cook on low until the meat is very tender and easy to pull apart, 7 to 8 hours.
• For the caramelized onions: When the slow cooker has about 15 minutes left, heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the roast to a bowl and shred using 2 forks, then return it to the slow cooker to keep warm.
• For the sandwich assembly: Preheat the broiler. Put the rolls on a baking sheet and spread each with a tablespoon of butter. Broil until toasted, about 2 minutes.
• Heap a generous portion of meat on each roll, then spoon some of the cooking liquid over the meat. Top with a few pepperoncini from the slow cooker and plenty of caramelized onions. Put 2 slices of cheese on each sandwich and return to the broiler just to melt the cheese, about 1 more minute. Serve with potato chips and extra cooking liquid on the side for dipping.
• Allow the leftover beef to cool completely, then transfer to a resealable freezer bag with a nice portion of cooking liquid and freeze for later use. When ready to serve, thaw completely in the refrigerator, then heat through and serve with additional sandwich fixings.
