Chopped Beef Sandwich Recipe

American · Main course · 25 min total

A hearty, flavorful sandwich inspired by the classic Chicago chopped beef, featuring seasoned ground beef, melted cheese, and tangy giardiniera on a toasted roll.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1/4 cup beef broth
• 4 slices provolone cheese
• 4 Italian-style hoagie rolls, split and toasted
• 1/2 cup giardiniera (pickled vegetable relish), drained

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
2. Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Pour in beef broth and cook, stirring, until liquid is mostly absorbed, about 2 minutes. Use a spatula to finely chop the beef mixture into small pieces.
4. Divide the beef into 4 piles in the skillet. Top each pile with a slice of provolone cheese. Cover the skillet and cook until cheese melts, about 1 minute.
5. Place each cheesy beef pile onto the bottom half of a toasted roll. Top with giardiniera and close the sandwich. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For extra flavor, toast the rolls with a little butter or olive oil.
• Substitute mozzarella or cheddar if provolone is unavailable.
• Leftover chopped beef can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated.
