Chicago-Style Hot Giardiniera Recipe: How to Make It image

CHICAGO-STYLE HOT DOGS RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Chicago-Style Hot Dogs Recipe - Food.com image

A long-time family favorite. The authentic stands use Vienna Beef franks and buns with poppy seeds and that trademark green relish and yellow mustard. If you're not fortunate enough to live near a stand (like us), this home version does nicely (with my own preferred changes of course)! The natural casing frankfurters have a pleasant "pop" when you bite them and are far superior to normal hot dogs. I don't advise using serranos in place of sport peppers as they are not the same type of chile and the serranos are MUCH hotter (as well as not usually being found pickled).

Total Time 25 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 natural casing beef frankfurters (I like Boar's Head brand)
4 hot dog buns (with poppyseeds if you can find them)
1 small onion, diced fine
3 -4 teaspoons sweet pickle relish (bright green type if you can find it!)
1 cold-pack kosher dill pickle, quartered lengthwise
1 small tomatoes, sliced into julienne strips
4 -8 pickled sport bell peppers or 4 -8 tiny hot peppers (Kroger sells these)
dusseldorf-style brown mustard, with horseradish,to taste (may use yellow mustard)
celery seed
poppy seed (omit if using seeded buns)
beer, for simmering (standard golden lager preferred; not authentic) (optional)

Steps:

  • Simmer frankfurters in beer or water for approximately 10 minutes.
  • Warm buns in microwave, until slightly warm and soft.
  • To assemble hot dogs, place frank in each bun.
  • Add mustard to taste; top with dill spear, relish, onion, tomato, and 1-2 sport peppers (Jalapenos"might" be a reasonable substitute if you are desperate to find the sport peppers, but the taste won't be quite the same).
  • Sprinkle with celery and poppy seeds.
  • Serve.

PORTILLO'S ITALIAN BEEF COPYCAT RECIPE | THE FOOD HACKER
Most major cities in the U.S. have a sandwich that locals proudly claim as their own. For Chicagoans that sandwich is the Italian Beef. Thin-sliced roast beef is dunked in herbed gravy to soak up the flavor, then it's stacked on a warm Italian sandwich roll and topped with sweet peppers or spicy hot Giardiniera. The recipe may seem like a simple one, but if any component of this iconic sandwich isn't faithful to the Chi-Town original, true beef fanatics will cry "foul" quicker than bleacher bums at Wrigley field.

  • For each sandwich, drop 1/4 pound of sliced beef (separate the slices) into the gravy for 2 minutes. Make sure the gravy isn't boiling. It should be around 180 degrees F. After the beef has soaked in the gravy, use tongs to arrange the beef on a warmed sandwich roll and top with your choice of hot giardiniera or sweet peppers. Or both. Spoon on some extra gravy just before serving.
