Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb roast beef, thinly sliced
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 4 slices provolone cheese
Vegetables and Seasonings
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Additional Ingredients
- 1/4 cup giardiniera (pickled vegetables)
- 1/4 cup beef broth
Instructions
- Heat Oil and Sauté Veggies: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
- Cook the Beef: Add the thinly sliced roast beef to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the roast beef is heated through and combined well with the veggies.
- Simmer with Beef Broth: Pour in the beef broth and stir to combine all ingredients. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes, allowing the beef to absorb the flavors and stay moist.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Slice the hoagie rolls in half horizontally. Place a slice of provolone cheese on the bottom halves of the rolls. Evenly divide the hot beef and vegetable mixture on top of the cheese.
- Add Giardiniera and Serve: Top each sandwich with a generous spoonful of giardiniera for a tangy, spicy kick. Cover with the top half of the hoagie roll. Serve the sandwiches hot and enjoy your authentic Chicago-style beef sandwich!
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can toast the hoagie rolls lightly before assembling.
- Giardiniera adds a spicy, tangy element, but you can adjust the quantity to suit your taste preference.
- Use thinly sliced roast beef, such as deli-style, for quicker heating and tenderness.
- You can add additional toppings like sliced banana peppers or pickles for more zing.
