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...

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast or top sirloin are good options for hot Italian beef sandwiches.
  • Slice the beef thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: A mixture of Italian herbs, garlic, olive oil, and red wine vinegar is a good option.
  • Cook the beef slowly: This will help it become tender and juicy.
  • Use a good quality bread: A crusty Italian bread or hoagie roll is a good choice.
  • Load up on the toppings: Classic toppings for hot Italian beef sandwiches include giardiniera, sweet peppers, and melted cheese.
  • Serve the sandwiches hot: This will help the cheese melt and the flavors meld together.

Conclusion:

Hot Italian beef sandwiches are a delicious and hearty meal that are perfect for a cold winter day.
