Chicago-style Italian beef is best enjoyed stuffed inside of a crusty loaf, slathered in its own juices and topped w/ giardiniera for some tang. While not mandatory, a few slices of provolone elevate the experience as a whole.
Eating it fast before the juices soak completely through the bread makes for an enjoyable, chewy romp. |
Chicago Style Italian Beef
4 lbs bottom round beef steaks
1 red bell pepper, 1/2 inch slice
1 green bell pepper, 1/2 inch slice
1 large vidalia onion, 1/2 inch slice
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pkg "Good Seasons" dry Italian salad dressing mix
1 pkg "McKormick" Brown Gravy mix
1/2 cup marsala wine
4-6 cups water
1 oz jar pepperoncini peppers w/ juice
salt & pepper to taste
- season the bottom round steaks w/ salt & pepper. get a large pot over high heat, and add about 2 TBS of canola oil. work in batches, searing the steaks for about two minutes each side. remove the seared steaks to a resting rack, and continue w/ the remaining steaks until you are all done. if you overcrowd the pot, the meat will steam -- not sear -- and you won't develop the desired deep color and flavor.
- once all the steaks are seared and resting on the rack, add 2 TBS canola oil and sauté the onions, peppers, and garlic over medium-high heat until they just start to caramelize -- about 8-10 minutes. add the Italian salad dressing and brown gravy mixes. cook for an additional two minutes. add marsala wine and cook
- down until almost fully reduced. return the meat to the pot w/ the sautéed vegetables and seasonings. add the entire jar of pepperoncini peppers w/ their juice. add 4-6 cups water, or enough to cover by about an inch.
- bring to a boil -- reduce to a simmer. simmer partially covered for 4-5 hours. make sure to stir once every 30 minutes. add more water as necessary if the contents becomes too dry.
