This is a Chicago classic and something I miss now that I don't live there. Using rare roast beef is key!! It will cook when in the stock and you don't want it to be tough. You can top your sandwich with hot peppers of any kind or the traditional giardinera relish (made from pickled Greek peppers, carrots, cauliflower, cucumbers, celery, turnips, red peppers, olives and onions).
