Categories: Home Cookin,
Yield: 8
2 lb beef roast, leftover,
pre-roasted
Roasting pan drippings
2 tb fresh oregano, finely
chopped
OR 2 teaspoon dried
oregano, crushed
1 tb fresh sweet basil,
finely chopped
OR 1 teaspoon dried
basil, crushed
1 ts whole black peppercorns
1/2 ts red pepper, ground (1/2
to 1)
1 tb fresh parsley, minced
Salt, to taste
3 cl garlic, minced
1 fresh green pepper seeded
and
sl into 1/4 inch strips
Thinly slice cooked, roast beef and place in a Dutch oven (or put
it back into the same pan in which the beef was roasted). Add
enough water to cover. Add remaining ingredients and bring to
simmer. After the beef has cooked for awhile, taste and adjust
seasonings. Cook about 1 hour. Serve beef only on Italian bread
with grilled green peppers and / or giardinera relish. As you
serve dip the sandwich in your gravy.
NOTE: If you fix a large roast for dinner, take the leftovers,
sliced
thinly, and put your Italian Beef on the stove to cook, while
you're cleaning up the kitchen. You can cook the Italian Beef in
the same pan used for roasting. IF you make brown gravy for your
roast beef, remove some of the drippings before you make the
gravy and save them for the Italian Beef.
