Bought a food slicer because in my mind and taste buds, I've been craving Italian Beef sandwiches, wet roasted in spices, sliced thin and reheated in it's own "gravy", ladle on the gravy to the bun, put in the beef, add sauteed green peppers and/or hot Giardiniera, COLD BEER or a red wine goes with it well. My first attempt, it's smelling pretty good!!
The recipe I'm trying out.

When I read this post all I could think of was Arby's, yours is probably better. For a slicer how about an electric knife.

I bought a Nesco with I think an 8" blade, will slice paper thin to 9/16" slab, just pulled the roast out of the oven, temp @ 137*, so a bit rare medium style, set in fridge to cool along with the gravy, now I'll go and slice the peppers and get them done. Pics to come.

Shame we don't have "smell a thread"!

Tasted very good. washed it down with a pink moscato wine, slightly chilled,this was only a few ounces shy of 3lbs, got quite a bit of meat for sandwiches in the future along with the gravy...both are in the freezer. The meat was rare, but when put in the hot gravy for a minute to warm, the pink disappeared really fast. Unfortunately we could not find Italian rolls but opted instead for Italian bread that we halved length wise and then cut into a manageable size. NOW the Mrs. understands why I want the rolls so badly, bread just don't cut it, I do have a recipe for rolls.....I guess I'll have to do it since up here where a lot of folks are of German decent, the Italian bread makers just don't get up here. Two more pics, one of the cooked roast and a few slices of beef on the back side of the slicer.
