How to Make Italian Beef Sandwiches With Horseradish Sauce

  1. In a large Dutch oven or slow cooker, brown the beef cubes in batches with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and green bell pepper to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the beef broth, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, basil, and bay leaves.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 5-6 hours in a slow cooker or 3-4 hours in a Dutch oven on the stovetop, or until the beef is incredibly tender.
  5. While the beef is cooking, prepare the horseradish sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, prepared horseradish, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  6. Once the beef is cooked, shred it using two forks. Skim off excess fat from the cooking liquid.
  7. To assemble the sandwiches, place the shredded beef on crusty rolls. Top generously with the horseradish sauce and provolone cheese (optional).
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
