Tips:
- Choose the right bread: A good hoagie roll should be crusty on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Look for rolls that are about 6 to 8 inches long.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your hoagie will taste. Look for fresh, lean beef, ripe vegetables, and flavorful cheeses.
- Season the beef well: The beef is the star of the show, so make sure it's well-seasoned. Use a generous amount of garlic, onion, and Italian seasoning.
- Cook the beef slowly: Low and slow cooking will help the beef to become tender and flavorful. Simmer the beef in a pot of water or broth for at least 2 hours, or until it's fall-apart tender.
- Shred the beef: Once the beef is cooked, shred it using two forks. This will make it easier to eat and will help the beef to soak up the juices.
- Build the hoagie: To build the hoagie, start with a layer of beef on the bottom of the roll. Then, add your favorite toppings, such as cheese, onions, peppers, mushrooms, and giardiniera. Finally, drizzle the hoagie with a flavorful dressing, such as Italian dressing or au jus.
