    Great technique for cooking the roast. I've used it several times with this cut of meat and It's always been great.
    You need to order a slicer on Amazon! A cheap one is only $50. You could always splurge and get one of the $100 ones. Ain't that expensive. I'm ordering this one next week. https://www.amazon.com/Nesco-FS-250-Food-Slicer-Stainless/dp/B00L07TNSM/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1548306698&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=meat+slicers+for+home+use+prime

    I good tip is to get green bell peppers. slice them and boil them in the aus jus and remove them before dipping the italian beef for half hour. then top the sandwich with the peppers. Another tip, refrigerate the meat after cooking so it's easier to slice. No need for the red peppers or Giardinera, that stuff just takes away the focus off the italian beef flavor.

    It is all good except that you should use green bell peppers roasted in a pan, and you should buy Chicago giardiniera (which comes in mild, medium, and hot) at your supermarket or order on line. Never use salad giardinera as it has no taste). Other than that this is pretty good. A shortcut I use is to go to Gordon's Foods (or your local restaurant food supply company), and buy a ten pound top round roast that is already cooked, and they will custom slice it up for you to nearly shredded (and give you the au jus). You only then have to make the sauce, and freeze what you don't use that day (a quart bag will make four Chicago Italian beefs easily). Figure a pound of meat for every French (yes French bread) baggette cut into four sanguiches (yes that is how it is spelled and pronounced). If you have the beef already done you can serve a crowd with little time in the kitchen. Our family always served it up after Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. Ah the memories.

    Just looked at this,  Im going to post my version in your Facebook group, starting with my home made giardiniera.  I hope you will agree that it looks better, but maybe Im just biased.
