Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons dry sherry
4 cups low-sodium beef stock
1 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 star anise
1 bay leaf
1 clove garlic
2 cups thinly sliced radishes (about 8 ounces)
4 crusty hoagie rolls
1 pound Homemade Roast Beef, thinly sliced, recipe follows
8 thick slices gruyere
Watercress, for serving
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, minced
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
One 4-pound boneless beef eye round roast
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • For the au jus: Heat the oil over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Add the peppercorns, salt, thyme, garlic, rosemary and shallots. Cook the shallots, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the sherry and simmer, a few minutes. Add the stock and simmer, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the liquid. Keep warm.
  • For the pickled radishes: Simmer 1/2 cup water, the vinegar, sugar, coriander seeds, salt, star anise, bay leaf and garlic. After 10 minutes of simmering, pour the mixture over the radishes in a heat-proof container and cool.
  • For the sandwich build: Place the bottom halves of the rolls on a work surface. Place the sliced Homemade Roast Beef on the bottom. Top with 1 slice gruyere each, some pickled radishes and watercress. Cover with the tops of the rolls. Cut each sandwich in half, dunk into the au jus and realize sometimes leftovers are just better.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mix the rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper and garlic in a small bowl. Rub the mixture all over the roast, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, about 20 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over high heat. Wipe off the excess garlic and herbs and add the roast to the pan. Sear the roast on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the roast to a roasting pan with a rack. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 125 degrees F, about 50 minutes. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let rest, about 10 minutes. Thinly slice the roast and serve.

HOT ITALIAN BEEF AU JUS SANDWICHES



Hot Italian Beef Au Jus Sandwiches image

Mom and Grandma made Italian Beef often, this recipe was quite similar (they never added banana peppers or cheese, and baked in the oven before putting on the stove to absorb the juice when ready to serve). Having a crockpot version sounded wonderful...thank you to the Hungry Fan's Game Day Cookbook for the recipe, that I tweaked...

Provided by Megan Stewart

Categories     Sandwiches

Time 9h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 lb chuck roast
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 Tbsp canola oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
2 Tbsp dried oregano
2 Tbsp dried basil
2 Tbsp dried italian parsley
1 c beef stock
5 banana peppers, thinly sliced, or to taste
5 clove garlic, minced
8-10 whole wheat buns (i used the italian bread slider buns from walmart)
8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • 1. Season beef with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over high. Add the beef and brown both sides quickly, about 2 min per side. Decrease the heat to med, add the onion and cook 4 min, until softened. Add garlic, and saute 1 min. Transfer to a 6 qt crockpot, and add the oregano, basil, parsley, banana peppers, and stock. Add a couple healthy grinds of black pepper and cover. Cook on low 9 hours, or until beef is soft and can be pulled apart with a fork. Serve the beef hot on the buns, topped with healthy slice of mozzarella, which will melt with the heat of the beef. Or put it under the broiler for 2 min to also lightly toast the tops of the buns. Serve with a small cup of the jus (the yummy juice left in the crockpot) for dipping.
  • 2. Note: 6 lbs of beef will fit into the crockpot nicely. I omitted the mozzarella, used 2 onions, 3 T each of seasoning, 2 large spoons of garlic from the jar in the fridge, and 2 forks full of the banana peppers from the jar in the fridge. I also omitted the salt and pepper.
