Chicago Italian Beef Sandwiches

Chicago's famous sandwich at home: a lean top round roast seared and gently braised in a garlicky, herb-spiced beef broth just to medium-rare, chilled and shaved paper-thin, then warmed in the reduced jus and piled into crusty Italian rolls with hot giardiniera. Dip the whole sandwich in the jus if you like it 'wet.'
