CHICAGO STYLE ITALIAN BEEF SANDWICH (Made By Man From Chicago)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

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.

Combine ingredients into bowl of stand mixer with dough hook. Mix on low until combined (3min). When dough has begun to form into a ball, increase to high speed and continue mixing for another 6 mins. Transfer to a medium bowl, cover, and allow to ferment at room temp for 90 mins.
Flour dough and work surface and divide into two 300g pieces. Preshape into balls as shown @2:40. Cover with town and allow to rest for 15 min. Shape each piece as shown @3:00.
Place onto parchment lined sheet tray dusted with semolina, place shaped dough rolls onto tray and gently press down to slightly flatten. Cover and let proof for 30-45min until they've grown by about 75%. Score lengthwise.
Bake in a 375F/190C preheated oven for about 30 min (rotating halfway through) until light golden grown.
ROAST BEEF:

When ready to use, slice as thinly as possible.
Strain cooking jus into container. When ready to use, add spoonful bouillon paste, heat to 145F/62C, season to taste (should be very salty) and lower heat to low. Add in sliced beef to just warm through.
BEEF STOCK:
•6-8lbs or 3-4kg beef shanks

    Brian!!! Thank you so much for the recipe for the bread. I grew up in the Chicago suburbs 42 years and have had my fair share of Italian beef sandwiches, but now living in Florida for 10 years, this sandwich is so hard to find and if you do find it, it well...sucks. We know how to make the beef side of things but could never find something close to a Turano roll. After trying many of your other recipes with great success, I gave your bread recipe a go and DAMN! HELL YES! It was delicious and perfect! Brian, thank you so F***ing much. I am such a huge fan. Keep on keeping on my friend. You are so freaking talented! Much love from Englewood Florida.

    My family had a Chicago Beef Stand. Great recipe. You touched on it, but it is important to repeat that the beef sits in the au jus just long enough to wet and heat it. Otherwise it turns into shoe leather. This is key to tender, tasty success. Also, it’s a sanGwich!! 😁

    Good video. Little known fact: the Italian beef originated from the Italian wedding roast. The next day they would slice it super thin and serve it in the jus for sandwiches. First job I ever had was at Fredhot's in Glenview where we cooked an entire roast every day, rested it overnight and cut it up for beefs. That place didn't last long for the reasons you mentioned in the video.

The info is very clear and precise and you step on all the bases. The camera work and editing is great, you can tell a lot of thought and effort go into your videos!! I have been making bread in a bread machine for almost 15 years and have wore out 2 machines. Started making sourdough 2-1/2 years ago and really struggled with creating the starter and maintaining it which was partially due to the lack of love on my part. I watched your sourdough starter vid and it was so clear and orderly I was amazed. I wish I had seen this when I started making sourdough I would have saved a lot of time and wasted flower. Enough of that, I can’t wait to get to work on this sandwich. Thanks so much for the great instruction - Sensei 🙏

    Ok, I'll admit to being one of the psychos who dips the Beef to make it soggy-- the only time I ever consume mushy bread. Between the lean meat and chewy Italian roll, dipping the sandwich is required for it not to become a choking hazard Plus, nobody ever takes small bites out of Beefs. This is something you eat with gusto........along with some fries, coleslaw and a tall icy pop.

    I made a variation of this and it was pretty amazing. The big differences were that instead of "wet roasting" I grilled/smoked it. The other big difference is that I actually made a compound butter with the spice mix and the better than bullion and just slathered it onto the meat and just let it braise in an aluminum pan on the grill and just basted it with the beef/ butter for about 50 minutes. A bit more labor intensive but very very much worth it .

    Huge fan of your recipes. I've been working in a family deli since I was 13, and making sandwiches has long been a passion of mine. Your recipes have gone a long way towards taking my dishes to another level. For this recipe, I combined ideas from your recipe and ethan's recipe together a bit. I'm also adding feta cheese to the Giardinera after the pickling process is done. I'm Greek, and feta just feels like a natural addition here. It's sour, tangy, and soft. It should fit right into the pickled items while adding a unique flavor. We'll see. final steps will be tomorrow. Thanks again.

    When it comes to using beef base (or any base) almost every place I've ever worked has used base. I worked at a place where we always made our own turkey stock, but we used turkey in some recipes that didn't use gravy. Stock is really time consuming. There was a mountain resort I worked at where we would make different stocks in an empty kitchen (it was used for conferences and wedding mostly on the weekend) so we could have the stock going in a 20 gallon steam kettle and go check on it the next day. But that's not really cost effective and that kitchen could have been utilized in other ways to turn a profit.

    Same. And that Better Than Bullion does a solid job. It just takes too much time and effort to do stock from scratch most of the time. Although.... MANY years ago I had an ambitious prep cook that had trained at J&W, and after seeing the invoice for some rattlesnake I had ordered decided to try and impress me by making stock out of the carcass after trimming all the meat off because of how pricey it had been. He had disappeared for way too long, and proudly replied "snake stock" when I asked what the hell was keeping him. Couldn't find it in my heart to even be mad at him. Just kind of shook my head and laughed and patted him on the back.

    Man, thanks for being so transparent about the beef bullion. I agree absolutely: most restaurants will use some sort of chicken or beef bullion and that's probably what makes the sauces and jus so good. People are afraid of using those products, (and KZreadrs are usually afraid of even mentioning them because of that) but in moderation they are completely fine in my book. - used to own and operate a restaurant. Congrats. Great videos.
