Chicago beef sandwich

Chicago may be known for hot dogs and deep dish pizza, but the Windy City's Italian beef sandwich is a delicious, messy, tasty favorite. Here's how to make it at home.

Chicago Italian Beef is made by slowly roasting lean beef on a rack above a pan filled with seasoned beef-based stock. Some folks call it gravy, but in most Chicago Italian households gravy is a term reserved for tomato sauces. Others call it au jus or "juice" for short, although it is often made with bouillon, and that is not technically au jus, which normally refers to natural cooking juices. Let's just call it juice, OK? It's what keeps the sandwich nice and moist.

Cooked in a dutch oven, this Chicago Italian beef recipe is a great make ahead recipe for parties, family gatherings.
