Italian Beef
- 3 Tablespoons Italian Seasoning
- 2 Tablespoons Salt
- 2 Tablespoons Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Red Chili Flakes
- 6 pounds Beef, Top Round
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 8 cloves Garlic (whole)
- 2 whole Onions, Sliced
- 1/2 cups Red Wine
- 3 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 cup Beef Stock
- 2 whole Bay Leaves
- French Rolls, To Serve
- Giardiniera, To Serve (See My Recipe Box)
- In a small bowl, mix together Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, and red chili flakes.
- Rub seasoning all over roast.
- Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil with garlic and onions.
- Saute for 2-3 minutes.
- Add roast, cook on each side for about 3 minutes on medium high heat for a total of about 15 minutes.
- Remove roast from the pan and place in a large roasting pan.
- With remaining juices, onion and garlic, deglaze the pan by adding in red wine over medium heat.
- Scrape the bottom of skillet, add in Worcestershire sauce, beef stock and bay leaves.
- Pour over roast.
- Cook roast, uncovered, in a 300 degrees F oven for about 3 1/2- 4 hours.
- Meat should be tender enough to flake with a fork.
- (I used two 3-pound roasts; if using a larger roast, add about 1/2 hour or more.)
- Serve beef, shredded, on a French roll with homemade giardiniera (see my recipe box) and some of the broth.
- Enjoy!
