“This can be served as a main dish but is great on Italian bread or toasted hoagies. Oh, and here’s a tip — make sure you DON’T drain the meat before placing it on the rolls — the liquid has an AWESOME taste, so make sure you get plenty of it on your sandwich for the best flavor. In Chicago they say “the wetter, the better” when it comes to Italian Beef Sandwiches!!”
