Portillo’s Italian Beef and Cheddar Croissants and many more Portillo’s recipes!
Portillo’s Restaurants, in Chicago, are famous for their beef sandwiches. This would be one of those dishes you could make for your family and freeze leftovers for another meal - like making their Portillo’s Beef and Cheddar Croissant. A perfect compliment to their famous Italian beef layered with cheddar cheese and served on a toasted fresh croissant with your choice of sweet or hot peppers.
Serve with Portillo’s Chopped Salad and make room for their famous Portillo’s Chocolate Cake and their famous Chocolate Cake Shake – mmmmmm so good! This salad could be a meal in itself! So hearty with a very tasty dressing – macaroni, bacon, lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes, onions, cheese, chicken (another great use for leftovers!) in a sweet Italian dressing.
But their famous Portillo’s Chocolate Cake Shake is the best! Made from their famous chocolate cake (clone recipe included – tried, true and close!) - thick, spoon-worthy creaminess you would hope for in a well-crafted shake, the delightfully unclumpy serving of light, airy chocolate cake mixed within provides a fluffy texture that you won't find in any other frozen dessert - generous cake bits just floating around, mashed along the side of the cup.

Portillo’s Italian Beef and Cheddar Croissants
If you don’t want to make your own beef or are stretched for time, you can use sliced deli roast beef – usually they will give you a container of au jus.
I have included an au jus recipe if you’d like.
1 pound roast beef from the deli + au jus
1-2 green peppers
4 croissants
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil

3. Remove the the seeds and ribs
4. Place in a baking dish
5. Coat with olive oil
6. Sprinkle with a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder
7. Bake for 1 hour
8. Once the peppers are cooked pour the au jus into a pot and heat on high
9. Slice the croissants from one end to the other without cutting all the way through, you want a pocket
10. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese
11. Once the au jus is hot add the peppers
12. Let the peppers soak in the au jus for a couple minutes
13. Add the roast beef. You don't want to cook it too long; just heat it up
14. Add the hot beef and the peppers to the croissants

16. Serve with a side of au jus
Here’s a nice au jus recipe WITHOUT pan drippings –
• olive oil, just enough to saute
• 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced – jarred works fine
• 1/8 cup white wine – optional – or increase beef broth by 1/8 cup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

• 1 teaspoon flour (optional)
1. Caramelize the onions in a small amount of olive oil. Add garlic and cook for a minute or two more.
2. Deglaze the pot with white wine or broth, then add Worcestershire sauce and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
3. Add beef broth and bring to a light boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes.
