Johnny's Italian Beef Gravy Seasoning

$12.88

Johnny And Elle’s history with catering brought them to two summers of operating a hot dog cart under the name, Chicago Johnny’s. Selling hot dogs and Italian beef sandwiches off of a tow behind cart was an experience of a lifetime. No barrier between us and the customers, we had instant feedback directly from our customers, and it was beyond exceptional.

If you are unfamiliar with Italian beef, it’s the Chicago version of a sliced beef roast sandwich (like a French Dip out west, a Roast Beef Debris in Louisiana, a Philly Cheesesteak…). A slow roasted or braised round roast, sliced incredibly thin after chilling, and then reheated in the gravy and drippings from the roast and some spices added. Johnny’s Italian Beef Gravy Seasoning is the blend of herbs and spices you would rub on your roast or add to your gravy for re-heating. Simply adding Johnny’s Italian Beef Gravy Seasoning to your gravy (or often referred to as “Au Jus” or just “Jus” for juice) changes the game on Italian beef sandwiches. Top with some fermented peppers like a quality giardiniera, sport peppers, or pepperoncini or sauté some sweet peppers with Johnny’s Cold Cut Sandwich Seasoning if you are not a fan of spicy.

Flavors and Aromatics of Note: Herbaceous, salty, oregano heavy, slight basil notes, garlic.

Uses: Best used when 1 Tbl seasoning is added to 1 cup of gravy/au jus, to recook your Italian beef slices, and ultimately to dip or soak your Italian beef sandwiches. Many also use it as a rub for beef roasts, smoked roasts, and beef jerky.

Ingredients: Granulated garlic, oregano, granulated onion, basil, sea salt (sea salt, magnesium carbonate), red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, parsley, black pepper.

Italian beef joints are the number one subject we converse about with Chicago transplants. Italian beef is traditionaly a braised or roasted round roast, chilled, and sliced incredbly thin. These thin slices of round roast are then reheated in a beef stock and seasoning mix (often incorporated with drippings from the round roast) and then stuffed into a French roll, that is often then dipped or soaked in the same gravy. To keep the Italian beef sandwich from falling apoart, immediately wrapt tightly in deli wax paper and let rest for 2 minutes. This time allows the French roll to steam and for the flavored gravy to evenly soak across the sandwich. The Italian Beef Sandwich is now having nationwide recognition from the show, “The Bear” on FX, and for good reason as it’s one of the best regional specialties that exists.

Top an Italian beef with giardiniera, sport peppers, pepperoncini, or saute up some bell peppers (with garlic and/or onions - optinoal) and top your sandwich. The acidity from canned peppers helps brighten up an otherwise very heavy sandwich.

You can also use Italian beef as a popular pizza topping (pictured to the right), often in combination with giardiniera, Italian sausage, or some type of peppers.
