After a trip to Chicago I had a hankering for Italian beefs, and decided I would just have to try to make them. I am so glad I came across this recipe.
It is WAY better than any of the others I have found. I made these sandwiches for me and my very tall, very hungry boyfriend. Absolutely perfect. The leftovers over the next couple days were just as good, if not even better. The meat just melted in my mouth and the sandwiches were spicy and delicious. Plus, it made our place smell amazing all day while it cooked. Thank you so much Nicole for taking the time too comment and for your awesome review!

Hi Mallory. The roasted green peppers go on top after you assembled the sandwich. I know this one guy that I grew up eating at would just keep them simmering in the safe broth but a se[erate container. THAT tells you how old I am! Hope that answers your question?

I roasted the beef for 20 minutes at and then at until medium rare. I chilled the meat before slicing. But that was the easy part. Your recipe is really quite close. After blending in the drippings from the beef roasting pan and adding a bit more cayenne to your recipe, the two versions were incredibly close and equally liked by everyone.
HUGE kudos to you!! I just tried this last night and was SO happy!!! I grew up in Chicago but now live in Northern Michigan and crave the sandwiches. The disappointing factor is not having the bread here. Thank you for sharing this with all of us!

The seasoned fat is the key. For true authenticity every good beef joint uses Turano or Gonella 3 foot long loaves and slices them into individual sandwich lengths.
Keep up the great work, awesome site, so glad I found it!! I cant find the Turano rolls would you suggest Bolillo rolls or Ciabatta rolls or would neither of these be satisfactory?
