My sister came up with these quick sandwiches that use minced garlic and other seasonings to bring pizzazz to deli roast beef. Add some carrot sticks or a tomato salad for a fantastic lunch in no time. —Maria Regakis, Somerville, Massachusetts

What cut of beef is sandwich steak?

We use sliced roast beef in our Italian steak sandwiches, but if you’d prefer not to use roast beef from the deli, try using a tender cut of beef such as top sirloin steak, tenderloin, ribeye steak or flank steak.
