Have been making this for years, but my dish calls for studding your meat( I prefer pork), with garlic and adding a can of beef consomme and one can of water along with the pepperonchinis. I pretoast my crusty rolls with garlic butter, then put meat and mozza/ Havarti cheese on bun and pop back in the oven to melt cheese. Also, serve with individulal portions of the drippings for dipping! Yummy! Read More

Worcestershire sauce 1 10 1/2 oz. jar of peperoncini peppers, drained and stems removed 1 medium onion, chopped Read More

I've had this Italian beef since I was a little kid. It was my grandmother's recipe with rump roast, onion soup packet, lawry's seasoning salt and garlic. Best italian beef ever and I live in Chicago! Read More

I was very skeptical but this was quite good! I tasted the broth before returning the shredded beef and felt it needed a little something. So I stirred in a heaping spoonful of some Vegetable Better Than Bouillon (I prefer it over the beef flavor) and that helped a lot. Served on heated crusty rolls with melted provolone. Yummy!

This is a fantastic recipe! I did add about a cup of beef broth with the peppers for more juice. After it was cooked I sliced the peppers and tossed them in with the meat, which we piled on hard rolls with mozzarella cheese. Add Caesar salad and voila, a fantabulous meal! Read More

I have made this for over 30years and I always added sliced green peppers to make it like Blondies on Fullerton Ave in Chicago in the 60’s I also use beef bouillon or AU Ju packaged gravy to add More juice for the authentic dipping Even without the peppers, this is a 10 from my children and grandchildren Yum!!!!!! Yummy!!! Read More

I made this as instructed and it was the Best! Very flavorful. I would have never thought of adding the peppers. I've used a pkg of Italian dressing and it was good but not nearly as good as this. Thanks for the great recipe!!! Read More
