What is a Italian beef sandwich?

It's like a French Dip, except they dip it for you. Also has pickled vegetables on it, called giardiniera.

This one is for @Fenway .......

Made some incredible Chicago Style Italian Beef Sandwiches last night in the InstaPot. Like most people in Chicago, I take my Italian Beef Seriously (Scatchels, down in Cicero is the best BTW) and I ALWAYS take may sandwiches dipped. Total prep time was 2hrs, but still way quicker than traditional methods and better than anything you will get at Portillo's, or Al's. Great for Sundays when you have people over for football.....

The leftovers are just as good. Just make sure to store the beef and the gravy in separate containers. Then just re-heat the gravy, add the meat and serve. Here's the recipe: Chicago-Style Italian Beef Sandwiches – Instant Pot Recipes

On my Chicago trip I went to Mr. Beef on Orleans. So good. There is a place in Natick owned by Chicago natives that maek a good authentic italiam beef sandwich.

I never thought about using the Instant Pot. I am so making this, thanks for posting it. I know you need a sturdy roll can I ask what kind of a roll you used?

We've got a local bakery that makes a really great crusty Italian roll, but any bread with a good crust should work. These sandwiches have a lot of juice, especially if you dip them, so you need a bread that won't turn into a gummy mess.

...also, if you really want to get fancy, roast yourself a red and green pepper on the grill, peel off the skin and slice that up and add as a condiment, like you would with the giardiniera. My wife LOVES roasted red pepper on hers and she's got me converted as well.

My kids like 'em with provolone (not me, I'm a purist), so you can also do that. Split the rolls, throw on some provolone and throw them in the broiler until the cheese gets a little brown and bubbly.

Can any RI folks recommend any good pizza places? Ideally closer to South County, but I'd take any suggestions...

The 7 Best Pizzas In Rhode Island – Big 7 Travel

Caserta is decent

Al Forno is one of the best italian restaurants in the area. It is a restaurant not a pizza shop but you can get take out pizza if you don't want to dine in. It is pretty expensive but the wood grilled pizza is fantastic. If you dine in there be sure to order one of their made to order desserts.

I like roasted peppers so I'll do that. I think I'll leave off the provolone

We had Friend Day at church and afterwards they had a couple food trucks in the parking lot. Guests got a free meal. I paid for mine but it was amazing. Best brisket sandwich and corn casserole I've ever had.

They have a restaurant as well which is only about a mile from work. Guess I will be frequenting it now.
