You could also leave the spices, oil and vinegar out of the giardiniera and use premixed Italian dressing.

Also, I have to say that this is the best thing I’ve made in quite a while. It was so amazing that I was eating this at least twice a day until it was gone! It’s really the garlic and oregano that gives the flavor kick. I’m definitely making this next time I find a roast on sale. The chuck was fine but it would be even better with a rump. I bet you could also make this super fast by making the sauce and then simmering roast beef from the deli. I wouldn’t simmer it more than 10-15min. It would probably be really even better the next day after soaking in the gravy.

Oh, and I also forgot to mention that you have to give the sandwich a quick dip in the sauce before serving (like in Chicago) or serve the sauce on the side like with a French dip.
