Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound ground sirloin

8 ounces ground pork

8 ounces ground veal

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium onion, diced

1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

1/4 cup dry white wine

One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes, with juice

1/2 cup whole milk

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

8 slices aged provolone cheese

8 hinged hoagie/sub rolls

Oil-packed hot giardiniera, for serving

Chianti, for serving

Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add in the sirloin, pork and veal, and brown until no longer pink, about 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the meat and store in a bowl, leaving the juices and fat in the Dutch oven. 
  2. Sweat the garlic, onions and Italian seasoning in the Dutch oven, stirring frequently to insure they do not burn. Once the onions are translucent, add the meat back to the pan and then add the wine to deglaze. Add in the tomatoes and milk and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. 
  3. Sandwich Build: Place a piece of cheese in each hoagie roll. Place some meat on top and the some giardiniera on the top of it all. Serve with a pint of Chianti.

Plain. If not for this recipe, I would not have known about aged provolone. This must be eaten with banana peppers and the cheese, otherwise it's nothing. I did add red pepper flakes and I would be more even more generous with this.<br />If I'm going to buy ground sirloin, pork and veal - I expect something a little more special, like Bobby Flay's meatloaf with zucchini recipe. <br />This is okay-good but not memorable.
