The Italian Beef might just be the best dippable sandwich in existence. Juicy, thin sliced beef, soft soakable bread, and spicy giardiniera all working together. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to make restaurant quality Italian Beef at home, Chicago style.
I focus on dialing in the beef so it stays ridiculously tender, walk through sweet peppers, hot peppers, and giardiniera, and talk about how to build the perfect sandwich whether you like it dry, dipped, or fully soaked. I also get into the bread situation and why finding the right roll might be the most important part of the whole thing.So…If you’ve ever wanted to make a proper Italian Beef at home, this one’s for you!
