I just got back from Chicago and had something called Italian Beef.  How do I make it at home?

To make an authentic Italian Beef at home, you will need:
– 1 pound of eye round or other prime bottom round roast
– 1 onion, chopped
– 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
– 1 package of braising greens or 1 tablespoon of thyme
– 1 starred can of tomato paste
– 1 can of crushed tomatoes
– 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning
– 1 tablespoon of salt
– 1 tablespoon of worcestershire sauce
– 1 teaspoon of freshly-grated nutmeg
– 2 hoagie buns
– Provolone or mozzarella cheese

Begin by seasoning the roast with the salt, worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, and nutmeg. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the garlic until golden brown. Add the onion, cook until soft, and then transfer the mixutre to the braising greens. Rub the roast with the marinade, place it in the skillet and cook until it loses its pink color. Stir in the tomato paste and crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer.

Simmer the sauce for at least 4 hours. Remove the roast from the skillet and shred it. Transfer the shredded roast to a bowl, add some of the sauce, and combine.

To assemble the sandwiches, heat the hoagie rolls in a 350 degrees F oven until just golden, and toasty. Spread some of the braising liquid on the rolls, then top with some of the shredded roast and provolone or mozzarella cheese. Enjoy!
