Recipe of the Week – (crock pot) Easy Italian Beef
(From the Slow Cooking/ Crock Pot Cooking Collection at emealsforyou.com)
Pull in to most non-national chain fast food shops in Chicago and you will see Italian Beef on the menu. Philadelphia has its cheese steak sandwiches; ordered “wit or witout” as they say, with or without cheese. Chicago’s answer is the Italian beef sandwich; this time your choices are with or without sweet green peppers and wet or dry; with juice or without. The steak sandwiches are unique to the Philly area and almost duplicated across the country. I say almost because once you go to 9th and Passiank in South Philly to Pat’s Steak House you will never eat another “Philly cheese steak” with the same appreciatation. Maybe it’s the Frank Sinatra music playing in the background or the fact that ever candidate for a national office has made a stop there; whatever it is it works.
The Chicago Beef is another story. Easily created in your crock pot or slow cooking in a Dutch oven the ease with which you turn an ordinary chunk of beef into “man food”; perfect for the football watching rituals is amazing. I guarantee your family will love this and you will reap the compliments. Please make this and don’t take the shortcut of ordering thin sliced roast beef and extra au juice on the side from your grocery store; it doesn’t even come close.
Make mine with and wet please!
