Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast or brisket are good choices for this recipe, as they are both flavorful and relatively inexpensive cuts of meat.
- Marinate the beef. Marinating the beef helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. The marinade in this recipe is made with olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
- Cook the beef slowly. Low and slow cooking is the best way to achieve tender, flavorful beef. Cook the beef in a covered grill or smoker over low heat for several hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make the hot and sweet Caprese salad. This salad is a great accompaniment to the beef sandwiches. It is made with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, basil, and a balsamic vinaigrette.
- Assemble the sandwiches. To assemble the sandwiches, simply pile the beef, cheese, and salad on toasted bread. Serve immediately.
