Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Rub the beef roast with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Place it in a roasting pan and roast in the oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    While the beef is roasting, slice the onion and bell pepper. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized, about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Broth

    In a saucepan, bring the beef broth to a simmer. If desired, add hot sauce to the broth for extra flavor.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Once the beef is done, let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing it thinly. Split the sandwich rolls and layer with slices of beef, sautéed vegetables, and Swiss cheese. Optionally, drizzle some of the beef broth over the beef before closing the sandwich.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the sandwiches with a side of the remaining beef broth for dipping. Enjoy your delicious Big Beef Sandwich!
