Ingredients
 

For the sandwiches:

  • 4 hoagie or sub buns
  • 4 Tablespoons salted butter (at room temperature)
  • 3 cups shredded beef
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 8 slices tomato
  • ¼ red or white onion (thinly sliced in rings)
  • ½ head iceberg lettuce (thinly sliced)
  • ½ cup banana pepper rings (optional)
  • Kosher salt

For the oil and vinegar topping:

  • Olive oil
  • Red wine vinegar
  • Oregano

For the horseradish mayonnaise:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 Tablespoon horseradish (or more, to taste)

Instructions

  • Preheat the broiler to 550 degrees. Spread both sides of the buns with butter and place on a baking sheet. Broil for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven, then remove the top buns from the baking sheet and set aside.
  • Divide the shredded beef evenly between the four bottom buns. Top with Swiss cheese, then place back under the broiler for another 2-3 minutes, until melty.
  • Top the cheese with tomato, onion, and lettuce, then sprinkle with salt.
  • If using oil and vinegar: drizzle the lettuce with equal parts oil and vinegar, then sprinkle with oregano. Add the banana peppers on top, sandwich with the top bun, and enjoy!
  • If using horseradish mayo: Combine horseradish and mayonnaise in a bowl, then spread a thick layer on the top bun. Sandwich the lettuce and enjoy!

Notes

  • Swap the Swiss cheese for provolone and use the olive oil and vinegar topping for a traditional Italian Beef Sub.
