The Best Italian Beef from Rosie’s Sidekick Sandwich Shop

If you’re from Chicago, you know what an Italian beef is. It’s a Chicago staple. You know what we’re talking about. The juicy, flavorful meat. The fresh French bread. Maybe you like it ‘wet.’ Maybe you want it ‘dry.’ Perfectly roasted sweet peppers. It you dare, you may add hot giardiniera. Can you taste that Italian beef now?

Once you get outside of the Chicagoland area, when you say ‘Italian beef,’ people look at you puzzled and you will likely get a roast beef sandwich. As you know, they are as different as night and day!

Within the Chicagoland area, Italian beef can vary depending on where you get it from. Some restaurants will buy it from a food service company. They are getting it from a food manufacturer, who makes it in a factory.

Not Rosie’s Sidekick Sandwich Shop. We’ve been making Italian beef the same way for over 40 years. We know how to make great Italian beef!

How We Do It

We start with 100% Black Angus beef – hand-picked and trimmed. The best roasts can create the best Italian beef. We use a proprietary family spice mix, 45 years in the making. We’ve tweaked this mix to get the right proportions of Italian and other imported spices.

Then the Black Angus beef is slow-cooked to perfection – just how Freddy likes it. The au jus is fresh with no preservatives. We thinly slice the beef to order to create the best Italian beef sandwich in Chicago. We can add roasted peppers or hot giardiniera to finish it off. Perfection!
