Ask any transplanted Chicagoans what samdwich they yearn for and they'll probably say "Italian Beef." To be authentic, pile thin-sliced beef high on a crusty bun, douse with garlicky drippings and add a crown of peppers. When Carms in chicago went out of business we could no longer get my husbands family favorite Italian beef so I developed this recipe. The family swears this is as good maybe even better than Carms was.
