I have a sesame and egg allergy. I am wondering if either of these are an ingredient in your gravy or the Italian mix you use. Thank you so much. I would hate to have to give it up!!
NO there are no eggs or sesame in the gravy that we use for the Italian Beef sandwich. Thanks for being a fan and let us know how the recipe is please. Also post some pics! Thanks
Excellent recipe! I followed this to the letter except I omitted the bay leaf since I didn’t have any. Delicious! Without a doubt the best Italian Beef I’ve ever made at home! This is now my go to Italian Beef recipe. Thanks!
Portillo’s has thinly sliced beef for their sandwiches but this recipe says to shred the beef. Is there a recipe that uses sliced beef that I could get my hands on?
