Italian Braised Beef Sandwich Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Brown the Meat

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper and brown it on all sides. Remove the meat and set it aside.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In the same pot, add chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Liquids and Seasonings

   Pour in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, red wine, oregano, and return the browned beef to the pot. Bring to a simmer.

4. 4

   Braise the Beef

   Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it braise for about 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded.

5. 5

   Shred the Beef

   Remove the beef from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the pot and stir to combine with the sauce.

6. 6

   Assemble the Sandwiches

   Slice the sub rolls or baguette and fill each with the braised beef mixture. Top with shredded Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.

7. 7

   Serve
