Here's a great Chicago Italian Beef Recipe. We made it for some friends during the last playoff game with the Bears. It was YUMMMMY.

Note: we used just 1 teaspoon of the red pepper flakes and it was still a little too spicy for me. (copied from a website)

3-4 lb. Beef (Chuck or cheap, I've used roasts)
2 or 3 Garlic cloves, sliced thin and poked into the meat (pierce with paring knife to create holes in meat)
1 T Red Pepper flakes (less if it'll freak you out)
1 T Oregano
1 T Salt
1 T Black Pepper
Water to cover meat in Roaster or Crock

I throw that bad boy in a crock pot and let it cook for the day while at work. When I return I can shred the meat with a fork, the au jus is spicy and perfect for dipping your sammie. You'll need Giardiniera to complete the experience. You can do roasted sweet peppers too!
