Classic Chicago Italian Beef Sandwich


 
I started with a +3.5lbs. petite sirloin roast, seasoned with black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil & some crushed red pepper. It will be smoked on the offset on a rack above a pan filled with seasoned beef-based stock.

This was smoked yesterday with cherry wood.

Some refreshments while I tend to the fire.

3 Hours later, it was around 132-133 degrees internally, time to pull, rest wrap & into the fridge overnight.

I added a link of my homemade Italian sausage, plenty of seasoned beef-stock as well as a lot of hot giardiniera! I have made this several times before, baking/broiling the meat in the oven, what is different this time around is the hint of smoke coupled with the smoke ring via the offset smoker. I believe Portillo’s calls this the “Da Combo!”
Wow that looks fabulous. I am salivating just looking at it and can almost smell and taste it. Great job
