Simons Family Italian Beef Sandwiches image

Ask any transplanted Chicagoans what samdwich they yearn for and they'll probably say "Italian Beef." To be authentic, pile thin-sliced beef high on a crusty bun, douse with garlicky drippings and add a crown of peppers. When Carms in chicago went out of business we could no longer get my husbands family favorite Italian beef so I developed this recipe. The family swears this is as good maybe even better than Carms was.

Add green pepper strips; reduce heat and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes or until green peppers are crisp-tender. With slotted spoon, remove green pepper strips; keep war.
  • With a very sharp knife or electric knife, slice meat very thin. Using a meat slicer is even better. Add to broth mixture and heat through.
