My uncle was a butcher who lived within a a couple of hours from Chicago. His Italian beef was fabulous! I distinctly remember he used fennel seeds in his spice mix, which I’ll also add when I make this. Great vid!
Hey, what's up? Just love this style of video - all signal - no noise. And I will say my bread outcomes have vastly improved by watching your videos - night and day. Thanks again for all these super helpful videos.
Full circle moment, first of Brian's videos I watched was the Italian beef but I've never made it because I don't have a slicer 😂
I've seen a lot of videos and this is the only one that reduced the juice down. I used to pour mine in a squeeze bottle and use it to deglaze the beef on the flat top. It would reduce down and stick to the meat. Delicious. A+
Thanks!
Can't wait to try this new method. No cauliflower in my favorite beef place's giardiniera and there has to be olives! It's the best part.
11:07 I feel the same way as a Louisiana native living in California. If I want comfort food from home, I have to make it myself.
Thank you for adding your spices like a normal person and not slowly tap-tapping it in like it inhances the flavor!
What a great idea ! Remembers me good memories of my trip in Chicago
Loved your original recipe so I'm excited to try this one! Have you ever thought about making a video for a Chicago Style Breaded Steak Sandwich? That's a Chicago food I never see anywhere else and I'd love to see your take on it. Keep up the awesome work!
Looks great! I liked the shout out to Johnnie's at the end. I discovered them 30+ years ago while driving around Melrose Park for an appraisal.
I’ve never made my own giardiniera but it turned out amazing! I also think frying the meat after the crockpot is genius and it made a huge difference in the texture. I’m definitely going to try this technique on other crockpot meats. I followed this recipe mostly to a tee but halved it. I am so impressed with the results. Sometimes meat from the crockpot is flavorless.
As a life long Missourian that currently lives in Missouri…..love your recipes. Almost every one I have tried is fantastic. This one is now on a short list!
THANK YOU for this sponsor! I've been looking for the right time to start learning Spanish. Great partnership!
Chicago girl in WA state...Portellos is still the first stop on the way from the airport...time to make this sandwich!
That Mixer transition was awesome. I had to rewind a bit just to confirm what I saw. Kudos!
I have some diastatic flour with me , should I add it when making the polish or the next day into the final dough mixing when making whole wheat sourdough bread ?
I made this today in totality (started the giard yesterday). It was amazing. Thank you!
I got to try that when I head to Chicago the later part of this month looks so yummy
