HOT ITALIAN BEEF AU JUS SANDWICHES
Mom and Grandma made Italian Beef often, this recipe was quite similar (they never added banana peppers or cheese, and baked in the oven before putting on the stove to absorb the juice when ready to serve). Having a crockpot version sounded wonderful...thank you to the Hungry Fan's Game Day Cookbook for the recipe, that I tweaked...

Steps:
- 1. Season beef with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over high. Add the beef and brown both sides quickly, about 2 min per side. Decrease the heat to med, add the onion and cook 4 min, until softened. Add garlic, and saute 1 min. Transfer to a 6 qt crockpot, and add the oregano, basil, parsley, banana peppers, and stock. Add a couple healthy grinds of black pepper and cover. Cook on low 9 hours, or until beef is soft and can be pulled apart with a fork. Serve the beef hot on the buns, topped with healthy slice of mozzarella, which will melt with the heat of the beef. Or put it under the broiler for 2 min to also lightly toast the tops of the buns. Serve with a small cup of the jus (the yummy juice left in the crockpot) for dipping.
- 2. Note: 6 lbs of beef will fit into the crockpot nicely. I omitted the mozzarella, used 2 onions, 3 T each of seasoning, 2 large spoons of garlic from the jar in the fridge, and 2 forks full of the banana peppers from the jar in the fridge. I also omitted the salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use a quality cut of beef, such as chuck roast or rump roast, for the best flavor. Fresh, flavorful vegetables will also make a big difference in the overall taste of the dish.
- Brown the beef well: Browning the beef adds flavor and helps to keep it moist. Be sure to brown the beef in batches so that it doesn't steam.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so be sure to use a broth that you enjoy the taste of. You can use beef broth, chicken broth, or even vegetable broth.
- Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, nutrients, and texture to the soup. Don't be afraid to add a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes.
- Season the soup to taste: Be sure to taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or other spices.

Hot Italian beef sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.
