CHICAGO STYLE ITALIAN BEEF SANDWICH (Made By Man From Chicago)
The Italian Beef Sandwich aka one of Chicago's four main food groups is a sloppy, drippy, monster of a sandwich and a damn good one at that. I grew up on these beloved gut bombs and it was a real thrill to create a video showing you how to make your own at home from scratch. Enjoy responsibly.

REAL ITALIAN BEEF | Welcome to the Beef w/ Matty & Coco
5 WELCOME TO THE BEEF ITS BEEF TOWN @COURTNEY__STORER IS THE BEST CHEF IN THE WORLD AND NOW WE COOK AND SHOW YOU HOW TO MAKE ALL THE FOOD ON THE SICKEST SHOW @THEBEARFX ON HULU 6/23
INGREDIENTS:
4lb Top Sirloin or Top Round
2tbs Dried Oregano (Knorr preferrred)
1.5tbs Garlic Powder
1.5tbs Onion Powder
1.5tbs Dried Basil
1.5tbs Crushed Chilli Flake
1tbs Toasted black pepper
1/2c Kosher Salt
1qt Grapeseed Oil
2qt Beef Stock
2 whole heads of Garlic
2 large Carrots
2 Onion
1 whole stalk Celery
1qt Mild Giardinara
5 Green Bell Peppers
5 Turano, Gonnella, or Amoroso sandwich rolls (cut in half)
COOKING METHOD:
1. 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.
2. Season beef with salt and pepper. In a large rondeau heat Grapeseed oil under medium / high heat. Sear beef on all sides to brown.
3. 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.
4. Mix in dried herbs, bouillon, and seasonings.
5. 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.
6. Once your beef has cooked, take it out and let it rest until cool.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
