Italian beef sandwiches made from scratch in the real way are the BEST! They are juicy, flavorful, and hard to stop eating! I usually start by saying I only want half of a sandwich. Then I eat the other half. I’ll fry up another Turano Bun and eat a second whole sandwich because I still want more. This is how you know its a great Italian Beef. For extra heat, serve with Chicago-style giardiniera. For the real deal, serve with sweet bell peppers. This recipe is for a lot of people. It uses a 10 pound beef roast and will serve 18+ people. If you dont need to cook for a crowd, you should know this recipe freezes beautifully. You can have authentic homemade Italian Beef sandwiches anytime.
OK, now here is the tough love part. It takes 2 days to make Italian Beef from scratch. If you really want to be authentic, make your own Bone Bone from roasted beef bones to give your au jus a stronger beef flavor. That will add another 30 hours of time. Dont worry, this recipe uses store-bought beef stock to save time. When I make Bone Broth, I always freeze extra quarts for recipes just like this. So plan accordingly.
If you arent scared off yet, there is one more caveat I need to tell you. You will need to slice the roast beef super thin to get the best results.
My husband Tom (the gadget guy) bought a deli-style meat slicer. He lugs it up from the basement when I need it. I use it for slicing homemade Maple Espresso bacon, prosciutto and hams. Instead of the deli slicer, you can use an electric knife or take the cooked roast beef to your butcher. Many local butchers will be happy to accommodate you.
The unique oven method described in the recipe is another important step to getting this roast beef that is just right for rare and has a good crust. The top round beef roast with the fat cap is put in an oven set to 500 degrees for 5 minutes per pound. Next, turn off the oven and leave it there for two and a half hours. After that, the rare roast beef will be done when the thermometer reads 140 degrees.
