Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Season Beef with Italian Seasoning, Garlic Powder, Salt, and Pepper. Sear Beef in a large pot until browned on all sides.
Add Beef Broth to the pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until Beef is very tender.
While Beef is simmering, cook Italian Sausage in a separate pan until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
Shred the Beef with two forks. In a small bowl, whisk together Cornstarch and cup of cold water to create a slurry. Add slurry to the Beef broth and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire Sauce.
Slice Italian Rolls. Dip Beef and Sausage into the gravy. Place Beef and Sausage onto the rolls. Top with Giardiniera. Serve immediately.
