Note
For extra warmth, serve with a side of the hot giardiniera oil or a splash of pepperoncini juice drizzled over the beef.
You can substitute fresh diced bell peppers for the pre-cut strips, though you may need to sauté them for an additional minute to achieve the right tenderness.
If you prefer a spicier sandwich, opt for hot giardiniera instead of sweet or mild varieties.
Toasting the sub rolls beforehand helps prevent them from becoming soggy from the hot broth and vegetables.
Leftover beef and pepper mixture can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet before assembling sandwiches.
