CHICAGO STYLE ITALIAN BEEF SANDWICH (Made By Man From Chicago)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 тра 2024
- The Italian Beef Sandwich aka one of Chicago's four main food groups is a sloppy, drippy, monster of a sandwich and a damn good one at that. I grew up on these beloved gut bombs and it was a real thrill to create a video showing you how to make your own at home from scratch. Enjoy responsibly.

All u need now is the pepsi n pack of squares
Dat butta pack😂
Dat snitch starter pack
You got a port?
😂 I KNEW SOMEBODY IN THE COMMENTS WAS GONNA SAY THIS. I’m just a simple man from Louisiana interested in trying this popular Chicago style sandwich with a side of “no snitching”
RC Cola (if available in your area) is the ULTIMATE way to go! 😊
I appreciate the "quick and easy" approach offered here mixed in with the "advanced " version.
My family had a Chicago Beef Stand. Great recipe. You touched on it, but it is important to repeat that the beef sits in the au jus just long enough to wet and heat it. Otherwise it turns into shoe leather. This is key to tender, tasty success. Also, it’s a sanGwich!! 😁
That would have been EPIC!
Oh yea for sure. Epic. Some salt soiled meat with a big piece of bread and salty peppers. Wow that’s so impressive.
@@crespoopserc It's actually incredibly delicious.
Brian!!! Thank you so much for the recipe for the bread. I grew up in the Chicago suburbs 42 years and have had my fair share of Italian beef sandwiches, but now living in Florida for 10 years, this sandwich is so hard to find and if you do find it, it well...sucks. We know how to make the beef side of things but could never find something close to a Turano roll. After trying many of your other recipes with great success, I gave your bread recipe a go and DAMN! HELL YES! It was delicious and perfect! Brian, thank you so F***ing much. I am such a huge fan. Keep on keeping on my friend. You are so freaking talented! Much love from Englewood Florida.
Thanks for trying! So glad it worked out for you! Cheers!
Cuban rolls are very similar to Italian, in terms of texture, and I think there are plenty of those in FL.
Former Lombardian here! This is the best beef recipe I've seen on UA-cam. As close to Portillo's as you can get!
Lombard is not chicago
Portillos is garbage
All the options you give are amazing, it's really just incredibly inclusionary, making the recipes available to just about everyone. Great job, as always.
Thanks David! Glad you dig that aspect. It’s a lot of extra work to get those shots haha
I appreciate the acknowledgement of the beef base being a real world necessity in a commercial sandwich operation. No one is going to buy your $25 sandwich because you did it the "right" way. Well maybe some people, but not enough to keep you in business.
I've been chasing this part of the chicago flavor profile since I was a little kid. Thank you for so expertly demystifying and making accessable this bit of classical art.
I'm so glad that I'm not the only who A: will constantly snack on food while I cook, and B: do a little dance around the kitchen when something turns out absolutely killer. Really glad the algorithm pointed me in your channel's direction.
Thanks for being here
Great! Looks delish! Definitely reminds me of Chi-town but you left out the sausage, you know, the beef and sausage combo! Couple that with fries, geez screaming Louise! Maxwell Street, Chicago hot dogs, Polish sausages, pork chops grilled in onions, pastrami sandwiches seemingly as thick as your forearm! Those were the days! Italian food, Chinese food, soul food, Puerto Rican food, whatever, Chicago used to have it all baby!
Indeed, for those time you couldn't decide between the beef or the sausage, the combo was the answer. Whoever invented it deserved a Nobel Prize.
Oh yeah, the combo is great too! I'll take an Italian ice with that.
Still do!!!
Maxwell Polish! A Best childhood memory....
It still does!
Proofing the rolls between the sheet pans. Brilliant! Never would have thought of that.
Don’t forget the Pepsi 🐀 😂🤣🤣
Undoubtedly the best Italian Beef step by step instructions ever...great job.
Thanks so much Ed
no, sorry... there are better ones.. first off you have to use peppers and he just shat on them for no reason. theyre not fried theyre baked! hahaha
I own one of the last original Beef stands here in Chicago and I’m quite impressed. Great job! I’ve been making Italian beef and Girdanera from scratch since I was kid. I was pretty much raised in my beef stand. I have issues with some of this but you definitely did a great job. There’s only a handful of us left in the Italian beef world who make this. From the looks of it, great job!
Thanks man!!!! That’s amazing to hear. What are your thoughts on what I missed? I’d love to hear them
Bouna screwed us much love to our sandwich and our city thanks for keeping the best alive
Please share your recipe so we can keep the Italian beef sandwiches alive. Sadly I can't find a good sandwich here in Texas.
@@TimATX I know! Right? There is a Taste of Chicago in Houston and Addison. I recently found that out like, today. So never been.
Mr.beef eh
Having just discovered your channel, I want to express my appreciation for your entertaining and informative narration. You are easy to listen to. And I can tell from your delivery that you know what you are doing and enjoy it so much! I appreciate the benefit of your experience.
I love your explanations of everything and descriptions because with other cooking channels I’m left with questions unanswered but not here! You even tell me how I can do it at home told me everything I could buy to do it. You’re the real mvp!
Good video. Little known fact: the Italian beef originated from the Italian wedding roast. The next day they would slice it super thin and serve it in the jus for sandwiches. First job I ever had was at Fredhot's in Glenview where we cooked an entire roast every day, rested it overnight and cut it up for beefs. That place didn't last long for the reasons you mentioned in the video.
‘Italian Wedding Roast’ immediately sounds awesome. What cut of beef did you use? Same as in the video or something more cow-sized?
What italian beef? What part? Why italian?
One of the things I love most about your channel is the length of the videos. You just made everything from scratch in 13 minutes. Incredible. Ain’t no body got time for them 20+ minute recipe vids I’m seeing get more popular. Brevity! Love it!
Thanks Keaton! I also don’t like it when people spend 23 minutes on a topic that clearly can be covered in 10. I’m a busy guy I’ve got other vids
I need to be watching!
@@BrianLagerstrom BINGO
Yes!
Love your stuff, man. Been watching for a bit and YT keeps suggesting older stuff of yours. You are super humble and genuine and it makes for enjoyable and endearing videos! Love it!
I follow the recipe in this video as closely as possible, and the outcome was so worth the time and effort. Brian's videos are so packed full of information that I have to watch at least a couple of times to get it all, but as a result, I now have a sandwich roll recipe that I can use any time, and I have a large jar of giardiniera on hand in my fridge for whatever I might want to try it on.
couple of times..?? I have to watch aBazillion times.. LOL! And Same on the sandwich roll. Seems closest thing I have found to the Hero-roll from a NY Deli! :)
This is the first video I've seen of yours, and I have to say that I'm a fan already. As a New Yorker, we have no time for BS and talk fast. You spit out facts and techniques at warp speed with no fluff. You rock, and I'm a new subscriber!
Thanks Jimmy! I try and respect the viewers time and attention. Glad it’s working. Welcome
I used to live in Chicago. This video makes me cry.
Same! I ordered Portillo’s delivered frozen once a year until I couldn’t handle the price or only having my face once a year. My whole family LOVES them! We are in Georgia now so when my dad got me a meat slicer for Christmas 2 years ago, I perfected them and make them every other month! Takes me back to Chicago. Still working on the bread but I’m close! The meat is on point! Chicago knows to do it right! 💪🏼❤️Yum
I’ve watched hundreds of vids on cooking/baking and I can honestly say that the couple videos I have watched on your channel are amazing. The info is very clear and precise and you step on all the bases. The camera work and editing is great, you can tell a lot of thought and effort go into your videos!! I have been making bread in a bread machine for almost 15 years and have wore out 2 machines. Started making sourdough 2-1/2 years ago and really struggled with creating the starter and maintaining it which was partially due to the lack of love on my part. I watched your sourdough starter vid and it was so clear and orderly I was amazed. I wish I had seen this when I started making sourdough I would have saved a lot of time and wasted flower. Enough of that, I can’t wait to get to work on this sandwich.
Thanks so much for the great instruction - Sensei 🙏
Anyone else watch The Bear recently and craving the beef?
Whenever we drive from Naples to Orlando, we always make sure we stop by the Portillos in Tampa on the way. The best.
That's one place I REALLY miss now that I live in TX! ALWAYS stop there when I go home or Phoenix to visit the fam..
Order it deconstructed
I might have to make a trip out there this weekend
If you love Portillos you really need to try some of the other beef places in Chicago, Portillos has no flavor. Al's is the best, best chain is the growing Bouna Beef.
Oh an overhead shot of the bread shaping! Didn't know I needed that, super useful.
I was like, woah that’s much easier way to show people. 🤘🏻
Thanks for all the alternatives! Super helpful! Looking forward to making these!
Made this exactly as you outlined....my god that was good. The bread is so good and the beef slaps. Seriously best thing I have ever made at home. Thank you!
When someone says to "wear gloves to keep the heat off your hands and your weiner", you know it happened! Trust me I've been in the same boat and it burns 😂
Hard lesson to learn my J
I once woke up in the middle of the night with my nether's burning after processing a bunch of hot sauce. Ended up sitting in the tub with some milk.
I suffered a similar fate after a night of slamming jalapeno tequila shots. No bueno.
for me it was my eyes and butthole!
I always itch my eye when making giardiniera. Never fails.
Trust me dude, you're in line to be the next Babish, Joshua and others. And thanks a tonne for the metric measurements
As long as he doesn’t adopt the personalities of Babbish and Weissman. I find them both very grating
Thanks for watching and if I got 1/10th of their audience I would be STOKED
@@BrianLagerstrom it'll happen very soon
@Jon
Just because Josh and Andrew’s personalities are “grating,” whatever that means, doesn’t mean they make bad content. At the same time, I don’t think the fine lad in the video needs to adopt their mannerisms in order to be successful, he seems fine as he is.
I agree plus we need a true midwestern youtube chef to go after them both for attempting the Chicago deepdish
Probably my all time favorite sandwich. Awesome tutorial by the way.
That looks friggin' amazingly delicious. Bravo.
Don't change the format of your videos or channel at all Bri! This was hands down one if the best cooking videos I've ever seen on YT, congrats my brother! I can't wait to give this recipe a try, thank you for the time and effort. Also appreciate the shout-out to Ethan, his channel is fantastic as well.
Thanks for watching and for the kind words. Ethan has come a long way, I respect anyone who can teach other to cook without having professional experience themselves as a cook.
Made these this past weekend for our neighbors....simply awesome and a huge hit! Literally just as good, if not better than the ones we had in Chicago! Thanks for making these videos so the average, everday cook can feel confident in making our favorite dishes!
Thanks for trying them out! How did you end up slicing?
@@BrianLagerstrom I ended up buying shaved Roast Beef from our grocery store and going the Bone Beef Broth and Beef Paste option. The homemade Giardiniera and Rolls made up for it and aus jus was still yummy
Brian knows this dish. He’s from Chicago
Italian Beef and Pepsi
No wonder why fbg butta snitched on lil jay lmaooo
The difference between you and the other names people toss out is that you are actually naturally funny, the rest gotta work at it. Use that to your advantage! Excited to see this channel go to the moon.
Thanks Jake! I was sure my jokes were being cringed at haha
@@BrianLagerstrom It's not the jokes, it's the delivery. Great vid!
Just discovered your channel last week. Love the items you’ve selected to cook (especially this one), and appreciate your videos are straight forward, very practical, humorous without ridiculous “papa no like” baloney.
Thanks for being here. Glad my vibe doesn’t bum you out haha
Yeah, his use of camera gimmickry, that singsong voice thing, and the lame double-entendre before the "B-roll!" at the end... oy :/
Very late reply to the original comment, but I also had to stop watching that other guy when I realized that calling himself Papa wasn't just a one-time thing. I really like Brian's approach. He's no-nonsense.
i like that you don't just show the best way but the cheap and easy way as well. Thank you
Excellent recipe, as always. Your sandwich made me hungry. Thank you very much for sharing
Lombard represent! I’m from Glen Ellyn right up the street 👍🏻. I love Scala’s giardenera from the grocery store but can’t get out here so will have to make some!
Respect that’s a proper Chicago beef sandwich. Lots of imitations online…this not one of those. It’s the real deal y’all.
Thanks Steve
I just happened to stumble onto this video. Thank you so much for putting this together. I appreciate the extra effort to show the different ways on how to make this sandwich.
Brian, you are truly a very talented chef and I really enjoy your step by step guidance. You sure have helped me become a better cook. 👊🏼🙌
Dude thats awesome video. I love how u added other options. Wow!
Ok, I'll admit to being one of the psychos who dips the Beef to make it soggy-- the only time I ever consume mushy bread. Between the lean meat and chewy Italian roll, dipping the sandwich is required for it not to become a choking hazard Plus, nobody ever takes small bites out of Beefs. This is something you eat with gusto........along with some fries, coleslaw and a tall icy pop.
psychos are the ones who don't dip the sandwich...
@@TheCrayonMan529 .....risky eating for sure. Hopefully someone nearby knows the Heimlich maneuver, just in case.
Trust me, you’re not a psycho. This guy’s just a filthy casual, as evidenced by being from the suburbs.
I'm salivating
Delicious 😋
Thank you for providing recommendations for those who want paper thin slices but don’t have access to a deli sliced. I’ve been holding off making Italian beef because I didn’t know what to do about that, but having that option of buying the roast beef presliced from the deli then using the bouillon has inspired me to have a go at this.
I hope you do. Report back
"Repackage" the meat from an Arby's beef sandwich.
Or, do like I did years ago. Buy a kitchen meat slicer. Jerky, shaved ham, shaved beef, shaved turkey. 100's of uses.
Thank you! I made your bread yesterday for our italian beef sandwiches and I have to say it was a home run! You are right - the bread is what helps make the sandwich and living in Tennessee I can never get the right bread with the right texture. I think this will also work well for my New Orleans Poboy sandwiches as well.
I love Chicago Beef and love this channel. Thanks for sharing this.
Just made this for my wife (Chicago native) and she absolutely loved it. Great job Bri
Brain knows this sandwich. He’s from Chicago
My favorite sandwich. The shops I liked all had olives in their giardiniera. Little flavor bombs. Can’t wait to try your recipe. Miss my hometown food!
Olives don't belong there lol. I live in omaha...where I have 1 beef place like 45 mins away. I was born and raised in Libertyville, near Waukegan and had portillos, fodraks, and slot hots...I miss even bad beefs nowadays. I still go home once a year and feast like a fuckin king lol. Italian beef is the best sandwich I've ever eat and I've had both Philly cheese steaks in the argument...Italian beef beats both. Hot and wet. Add mozzarella and red sauce and it is the greatest meal on earth
I like green olives in mine too
Looks amazing and you were straight to the point(s). Thank you.
Thanks for the video Brian! Great tip on the lower temp bread bake.
Wow brilliant as usual 💚💚💚💚💚💚 greeting from Palestine 🇵🇸💜
Hey!! Thanks for watching! First viewer comment from Palestine cheers!
“Ferb, I know what we are going to do today!”
What's up Phineas!
Hey, where's Perry?
Small things, like cutting off both ends of the bread, and the you see Bri picking it up and then it goes to his mouth. That's what I like to "see". Nothing wasted.
Thank You Brian....Looks awesome & I will be making !!!
This sandwich roll was the first recipe of yours to become a staple in my house but my list keeps getting longer very quickly. Thank you!!
ive probably mentioned this before but man every single one of these videos makes me so happy... the food looks so good, you're so easy to follow, and idk overall such good vibes!!!!!
Naomi! Thanks so much! That means ALOt
I love your dough knowledge!!! It's a dream to listen too.
Thank you so much for going over the cheat ways along with the homemade ways. I moved to the west coast a decade ago and I miss my dipped Italian beef!
0:34 The food poet strikes again! Great video start to finish and the sandwiches look amazing.
Thanks so much!!!!!
Great job looks awesome I’m gonna give it a try.
Most definitely just subscribed! Loving the videos
An absolutely fabulous presentation on an equally fabulous Chicago sandwich!
Thanks Patrick!
The FBG butta
Butta meal
@@necromtoobalanced7899 I really wish I was in chicago to have this. If you're willing to snitch for these then man ! I gotta try it 😂
Shoutout to Ethan - you, him and Refika are my favourite youtube cooking channels!
True👍
Born and raised in Chicago but living for decades in Mexico. Italian beef sandwiches are my favorite. I crave them so I must make my own. Your video is awesome.! Thank you!
You are awesome!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing!
I'm originally from south suburb of Chicago (Frankfort)
moved away not to long ago and crave my Chicago roast beef sandwich.
I'm so excited to use all your recipes!!!
Thank you again!!!
Fbg butta would love this
Love this! Keep the sandwiches coming!
Thanks Kyle!
The recipes, and your video has been phenomenal to watch and learn. All the specific details for an amazing beef sandwich. I'm about to open a bistro in Missouri where a sandwich like this will be very much appreciated by our customers. Having found your video has been great, your honest teaching on the process covering everything involved with amazing precission it's been beyond what I could've asked for. My respects to you Brian, keep up the good job with this channel👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Trying this recipe! Thanks!
You, my man, have really got your stuff together. That was a 13 minute tutorial without a wasted moment. You really nailed it! I just subscribed and will look for more of your detailed recipes. I live in Los Angeles area and go to Phillipe's for my dip and Portillo's for my Italian beef. But I will be putting together your giardiniare recipe. I wonder how long it will stay fresh in the fridge. Anybody know? Thanks for being a no nonsense instructor.
Giard will stay good for months under the oil in the fridge
How is Portillo's beef sandwich here? It's only about 47 miles from where I live. 😐
Serrellis Italian grocery in Elmwood Park, on North Ave has the best Italian beef. My sister flew 50lbs. to Seattle for her wedding. She had other fabulous fancy eats, lobster rolls, crabcakes, etc. -- guess what disappeared?? Lol
Had not heard of them before, but you know how that is in Chicago. There is good beef in every neighborhood. Maybe I'll get to try them out some day. @@flygirlfly
@@BrianLagerstrom Does it ever last long enough to go bad? That stuff is awesome on so much stuff.
I would definitely snitch for this sandwich and a Pepsi 🤣
clout lord
Thanks! Really love watching your videos, and now I have the secret beef spice mix!
You did it again. More ideas for me to incorporate into my incredible chili. Thank you!
😋🤤😋🤤😋🤤 the rest of the country doesn't even know what they are missing out on. Also, mad props for repping the (630) and southwest suburbs. I'm familiar with the Lombard area.
It’s a deep cut. Real Chicagoland out there haha
Sorry --- I'll take my beef on weck with horseradish or on a hoagie roll with onions, mushrooms and gravy -- topped with a lil Hellman's.
While I confess it looks tasty it's kinda like Chicago pizza -- edible with an overinflated impression of it self.
Aight so I'm all over foodtube and watch most of the big names that shoot content like this and I gotta say, definitely deserve to be in the millions of subscribers club along with them. Keep up the great work and you will be there in no time.
Thanks true! I hope u right
I moved away from Chicago and almost forgot about this sandwich. Brings me so much memory now. Thanks, Bri.
This is by far one of my favorite videos. Every time I have to go back and catch the seasonings even though I should know lol. Thank goodness for pause
One thing I used to love about living in Milwaukee there's a lot of this stuff would wear off from Chicago!!!
I seriously miss the food
Trust me man, I got stationed in omaha nebraska. For being know for omaha steaks?... no good Italian beef and I wish I was in packer country nowadays...bear down lol
@@whitemike1221able yeah man these sandwiches are no joke if they're made right, so is a Chicago dog too!!!
No ketchup!
Great video. Chicago Italian Beef is my absolute favorite sandwich. I've tried making it a couple times. Never as good as Portillo's or Al's so I look forward to trying your recipe.
Dude. You're killing me!! The dunk was the crescendo that almost got me. Beautiful.....
You got yourself a new fan, I like your videos! Thanks!
Loren's hf comment at the very end was all I needed to know this was as good as it looked! Thanks for sharing your super secret spice blend with us!!
Top secret dood. Very classified
Her reaction was as good as the sandwich.
As a true Chicagoan (I grew up / live in the city not the burbs) I approve this recipe. (awesome vid)
Wow. I just made this from scratch. And it was AMAZING! Great job on the recipe. And thanks!
As a fellow kid from the Chicago burbs I am loving this recipe and your other videos. Can’t wait to try this and the sheet pizza. Well done!
That beef base that you're using is a great product. It's my favorite. And we've always made our own stock, but I definitely stirred in a little base while fortifying it. Great job.
Thanks! Yeah no pride here. A lil bouillon hits hard dood
@@BrianLagerstrom I still remember the dark days before when we only had those awful cubes. Better than Bouillon is a game changer. I will try your recipe, as it is hard to get a good beef out here in the mountains.
Thank you for the Giardiniera recipe! I put it on everything shredded.
Making some right now! How’d yours turn out?
I just made this bread for a regular cold cut sandwich, and I'm in love. I think next time I'm going to experiment with using a biga. Thanks so much!
HOLY SHIT. My husband and I have been craving an Italian Beef for weeks and I made your recipe tonight- good lawd. Thank you, is all I really have to say. Chef’s kiss. Every element of this recipe was so good. Thank you for sharing your expertise with the World Wide Web.
Snitch meal 😂
😂😂😂
It looks delicious. In Chile our classic pork sandwich is made by cooking the pork quite similarly, and also using a salty pork broth to create the same effect, a sumptuous, moist and flavorful sandwich called "Lomito"...pure perfection
Anddd now after looking up lomito I have to make that to! Looks great thank you for the info can’t wait to make that
yesssss thank you so much for the recipe but more importantly the shortcut recipe! i focused on the bread and used some london broil roast beef from the deli and it turned out so great i can't believe it!
That was awesome! Cheers.
if you haven't had one, you haven't lived. Hit up Portillo's in the Chicago land area and get a Beef... you will not regret it!
Johnny's is WAY better than Portillos, and the massive lines agree with me. Now, Portillos is delicious its just that Johnny's is sooooo much better...
I miss Portillos and just my Chicago food period! I’m in TN no good food. Whenever I go home I get the vacuum sealed beef from Portillos so I can enjoy it when I get home yummzers
@@Rond1970 You can also order it and they'll ship it to you frozen... Same with Lou Malnatis Pizza....
@@xordoom8467 oh yes I know but it’s so expensive to ship. When I go hone I get all the hood stuff and bring it back lol
We have a couple Portillo's in PHX area. The Italian beefs and hot dogs are just as good at their Tempe store as they were back home- North Ave, Bloomingdale.
Looks wonderful! I miss the Italian beef sandwich places AND Portillo's! Yes, and also TRUE Chicago pizza. San Antonio just doesn't understand Chicago food fare...
I was lucky to find a Protillos in Phoenix, AZ and have to go anytime I’m in the area.
Same for FL. The only people in FL who understand are the ones transplanted from Chicago, lol ☺️ We do have a Portillos thankfully, but it's a little drive. We hit it up every time we are in that area.
By far the best video I have ever seen on how to make real Chicago italian beef.
I love this kind of sandwich. I usually bye them from portillos, I did not know I could make them at home, thank you very much
