This Italian beef sandwich recipe delivers tender, flavorful beef slow-cooked in a savory broth with Italian seasoning, garlic, and pepperoncini. Served on crusty Italian rolls and topped with giardiniera or sweet peppers, this Chicago-style sandwich is perfect for a hearty, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3-4 pounds boneless beef chuck roast or top round roast
  • 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers, with juice
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6-8 sturdy Italian rolls
  • 1 cup hot or mild giardiniera
  • 2-3 bell peppers, sliced and sautéed

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
  • In a large Dutch oven, sear the beef roast on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same pot, sauté the onion and garlic until softened. Add Italian seasoning, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth.
  • Return the beef to the pot, add pepperoncini and their juice, and bring to a simmer.
  • Cover and transfer to the oven. Slow-cook for 3-4 hours until the beef is tender and shreds easily.
  • Remove the beef and shred with forks. Return shredded beef to the pot to soak up the juices.
  • Serve the beef on Italian rolls, topped with giardiniera or sautéed bell peppers. For a "wet" sandwich, dip the sandwich in the jus before serving.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add more pepperoncini or a splash of hot sauce.
  • To make ahead, prepare the beef and store it in the refrigerator; reheat in the jus when ready to serve.
