    Simply AB FAB! The best au jus sandwiches I've had in my life. Will make this again and again. It's not only a keeper, it's a show-off for casual company.
    Only thing I would do differently next time is I would rinse the veggies for the giardinera more thoroughly-- perhaps let them soak for an hour. I think I'd also add a little vinegar, but not a whole lot-- and I normally have a very sour palate.
    Kudos, Jeff!

    My wife and I are Chicago natives and I just made this for us and my parents and we loved it. The juice (au jus was spot on. The meat was good. It has a different texture and a slightly different taste because of it being a pot roast style and not deli sliced but we do not have to import the beef in like we used to with ever trip up north anymore. The roasted peppers were perfect and worked well. Had our own Chicago bought Giardonara so we did not make it. Excellent show concept as well. Rooted for you all season but honest thought we would have been making mexican tonight (figured Susie would have won. Keep it up Jeff and looking forward to next week. Also liked that you were able to offer substitutes for the cheese; since the one that you quoted on the Focacianini is not available down south.

    This was tender and fell apart with a fork. Family loved the recipe! Big hit! Only cooked 3 1/2 hrs and hardly any au jus. Did not make peppers and giardineira and was still delicious without it.

    This is so good I can hardly stand it! It has become a staple in my house. I've even made it as a food gift for friends and they keep asking for it again and again. So easy, so terrific, thanks!

    Very good! My 10 year old son ate 2 sandwiches as did my husband. I used store bought Giardiniera since I'm the only one who likes it. My picky daughter liked the sandwich as well. The au jus was very good and I had extra so I used it in my beef stew that I'm making today.

    This recipe was outstanding! Made it exactly as the recipe stated including the Giardiniera the day before. The 3# ground chuck was tender and falling apart with a fork. The balance of the sweet peppers and the spicy veggies was perfect. Will definateley make again.

    Our family loved this sandwich. Used leftover beef to make a roast beef and potato hash for Sunday morning breakfast. We will make this often. House smelled yummy. Bought the giardiniera instead of making as I ran out of time and I was late getting home from work so the meat actually cooked for an extra hour. Came out so tender and juicy.
