Ideal Toppings for Italian Beef
Some of the best toppings for Italian beefs include gravy, hot peppers or giardinera, and cheeses. The hot peppers may be a mild zesty pepperoncini or the fiery hot giardinera. The cheese toppings for Italian beefs are typically a healthy slice of mozzarella, provolone or cheddar. The sandwich gets a definite boost if the cheese topped sandwich gets melted under a broiler for a minute.When eating an Italian beef, one must also decide on whether he or she prefers the sandwich "dry" or "wet". The dry Italian beef is simply inserting the beef (strained of juices) into the bun and serving outright. Those that love a messy but tastier Italian beef will order the sandwich wet as the entire sandwich is dunked in juices and served as such. Though the wet version is tastier, the meal will require several napkins and perhaps additional plates or wrappers to catch all juice.
