10 Minute Italian Beef Sandwiches! (Chicago Style) image

Talk about FAST FOOD!!! I made this again tonight (5-10-2011). It is an old standby recipe I made up many years ago... and it is ALWAYS a BIG HIT!!! We were out shopping... the kids wanted to go out to eat... I said no way... We went home and had a nice family meal together at our own table... It took about the same amount...

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

VEGGIES AND GRAVY
1 qt water
2 large onions (sliced in thin strips)
2 large bell peppers (1 green and 1 red) (seeded and cut in narrow strips)
2 pkg au jus gravy mix
1 pkg brown gravy mix
1 Tbsp basil, dried
1 Tbsp oregano, dried
2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
MEAT
2 lb deli roast beef (sliced very thin, but not shaved)
BREAD
3 large long loaves of french or italian bread (cut according to who is eating them)
(a child will not eat as big a sandwich as a hungry man... or me either!)

Steps:

  • 1. Make the veggies and sauce first by putting the onions in the sauce pan with the quart of water. Boil while you are cutting the bell peppers. Add the peppers. After about 5 minutes, add remaing ingredients to make the gravy. (I usually put all the gravy mixes into a bowl and add enough water to thin it out and make it smooth before adding to veggies and water). When gravy is desired consistancy (you can add more water if needed), add the deli beef one slice at a time, pinched in the middle so it isn't going into the pan flat, but tented a bit. Stir meat and veggies a bit and shut off the heat.
  • 2. Cut a piece of the loaf of bread the length that you feel is appropriate per person. Slice in half to make a bun. Either dip the inside of the bun in the gravy or spoon it onto the bread... or ... (don't for a less messy sandwich). Pile on some sliced beef and veggies. Dinner is served!
