  • 4 tbsp. Salted Butter or olive oil
  • Salt & Black Pepper
  • 2 tbsp. Granulated Cane Sugar or maple syrup

For the Verde Sauce:

  • 2 Poblano Peppers stem removed
  • 1-2 Jalapeño Peppers stem removed
  • 2 Tomatillos peeled and washed
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Cilantro or parsley
  • 2-3 Garlic Cloves peeled
  • Juice of 1 Lemon
  • 1/4 cup Plain Yogurt or mayonnaise

For the Roasted Red Pepper Sauce:

  • 1 cup Marinated Roasted Red Peppers drained
  • 2 Garlic Cloves peeled
  • 1 tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1/3 cup Plain Greek Yogurt or mayonnaise
  • Juice of 1 Lemon

For the Truffle Aioli:

  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 1/4 cup Truffle Oil
  • 1 tsp. Dijon
  • 2 Garlic Cloves grated
  • Juice of 1/2 Lemon

Instructions

For the Shredded Beef:

  • Season the cubed beef chuck generously in salt and black pepper.
  • In a very large pot over medium high heat, add the butter. Once melted, add the chuck roast to sear untouched 2-3 minutes, then stir to sear another 2-3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup beef stock or broth of choice.
  • Cover with the pot lid and reduce heat to a simmer to slow cook 2-3 hours, until fork tender.
  • Let cool 20 minutes before shredded the beef between two forks.

For the Verde Sauce:

  • Add the poblanos, jalapeños, tomatillos and garlic to a large skillet over medium high heat with the olive oil. Sauté until the peppers are charred, about 6-8 minutes. Let slightly cool before adding to a high speed blender with the remaining ingredients. Pulse until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

For the Roasted Red Pepper Sauce:

  • Combine all the ingredients in a high speed blender to pulse until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. For a sweeter sauce, add honey to taste.

For the Truffle Aioli:

  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Whisk 1-2 minutes, until very smooth.

To Assemble the Sandwich:

  • Slice the ciabatta loaf in half lengthwise. On the bottom slice, add a generous slather of the truffle aioli, then layer with the shredded beef. Alternate in rows adding the verde sauce and roasted red pepper sauce so you get a mxi of both in every bite. Add freshly grated parmesan to desired preference. Sandwich with the top slice of ciabatta.
  • Slice into individual sandwiches to enjoy!
