Italian Beef Sandwich The Bear style

Makes 4 sandwiches

Ingredients

For the beef:

• 800 g beef roast (rump or round)
• 1 onion
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 500 ml beef broth
• 250 ml water
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 bay leaves

For the spicy giardiniera:

• 1 green bell pepper
• 2 celery stalks
• 1 carrot
• 1 small onion
• 2 la Costena jalapeños
• 1 to 2 serrano peppers
• 100 ml white wine vinegar
• 100 ml olive oil
• 1 tsp oregano
• Slap Ya Mama Cajun salt

For the sandwich:

• 4 American baguette-style rolls / French rolls
• giardiniera
• grilled green peppers
• beef cooking juices

Preparation

1. Prepare the beef

Preheat the oven to 160 °C.

Season the roast generously with salt and pepper, then brown it well in a Dutch oven with a little oil.

Add the sliced onion, garlic, oregano and thyme. Sauté for a few minutes.

Pour in the broth, water and Worcestershire sauce. Add the bay leaves.

Cover and bake for about 2 h 30 to 3 hours, until the beef is very tender.

2. Prepare the giardiniera

Finely chop the bell pepper, celery, carrot, onion, jalapeños and serranos.

Mix with the vinegar, olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper.

Ideally let it rest for at least a few hours in the refrigerator, so the flavors can develop.

3. Slice the beef

Remove the roast from its juices and let it cool slightly.

Slice it as thinly as possible. This is important to achieve the characteristic texture of Italian Beef.

Put the slices back in the hot cooking juices for a few minutes.

4. Assemble the sandwich

Open the roll and fill it generously with beef.

Add the grilled green peppers, then a good amount of giardiniera.

And here comes the key detail: generously pour the beef cooking juices over the sandwich.

For an extra indulgent version, you can even quickly dip the whole sandwich in the juice.
