Italian Beef for beef sandwiches
Ingredients
5-10 lb Rump Roast trimmed slightly
3 tbsp beef bullion paste ( better then beef brand ) preferred
Romano cheese hunk 1/2lb
3 tbsp salt
3 tbsp Pepper
3 tbsp Dried basil
3 tbsp Dried oregano
2-3 qts water
2 large green peppers
Olive oil
6 long Italian bread rolls
Directions
Preheat oven to 500 degrees
Pat dry the meat then dry rub on 2 tbsp salt, 2 tbsp pepper, 2 tbsp basil & 2 tbsp oregano, pat the spices to set the rub. Set the meat on a rack in a shallow roasting pan insert a meat thermometer into the center of the meat and place on center rack of oven cook for 1 hr depending on your oven until there is a nice crust on the meat. reduce heat to 350 degrees and cook until the internal temp reaches 120 degrees or rare. Remove roast and set aside it will continue to cook for a few more minutes. let it totally cool.
Au jus prep:
In a large stock pot add the warm water and the bullion paste Wisk until dissolved, add the remainder of the salt, pepper, basil & oregano, cut off 5-6 small chunks of Romano from the hunk and add to the pot cook on med for 10-15 minutes turn off let set.
Cut the green peppers into thin long strips, sauté in a sprits of olive oil until they wilt slightly, set aside.
Using a meat slicer cut the meat against the grain into very thin slices, the thinner the better. Now add the beef to the au jus and check to see if the juice is not to hot but really warm no more. Let it set briefly to meld the flavor of the au jus and the beef.
Serve on the roll with some green peppers and plenty of juice, and that my friend is food of the gods.
Let the remainder cool and store in the freezer in a zip lock bag or small serving size tubs, for later enjoyment, when reheating the beef heat it slowly do not boil it, boiling the beef makes it tough.
Add a nice big piece of grilled Italian sausage to the beef for a combination serve with a tall cold beer and kiss your wife and kids because it is a good day.
