It usually consists of thinly sliced roast beef on a French roll or baguette, served with a side of au jus sauce for dipping. This recipe uses fully cooked beef slices to make it a quick and easy meal option. The addition of mozzarella cheese, bell pepper, red onion, and Italian dressing adds a ton of flavor to this classic sandwich.
