This Italian roast beef sandwich is my family's favorite sandwich of all time and for good reason, they are so absolutely delicious. These roast beef sandwiches are loaded with Italian pickled vegetables and Italian basil mayonnaise which all get piled on top of fresh roast beef and cheese. You have got to make these as soon as possible!

This Italian roast beef sandwich is an easy Italian recipe that has just a few ingredients and requires only a little prep work. The rest of the sandwich is all assembly.
I love making these delicious Italian sandwiches along with my Italian potatoes with salsa verde as a complete meal to go during the summer. Easy and big on flavor.
The prep portion of this recipe is the basil mayonnaise which is included below in the recipe. All you need to do is take store bought mayonnaise and add some diced garlic, lemon and basil.
I call this Italian mayonnaise my cheater aioli. The rest is smooth sailing from there!
Here are the ingredients you will need to make these Italian Sandwiches:
- Hoagie Rolls.
- Italian Pickled Veggies called giardiniera. They can be found in either the international section or the pickles sections of your grocery store. These are jarred and sealed. Perfect for storing in your pantry to top any sandwich with!
- Muenster Cheese.
- Roast Beef sliced from the deli.
- Italian Basil Mayonnaise (recipe is below.)
That is all folks! This is one of those really great meals to pick up at the grocery store on the way home instead of ordering out.
It would take you 5-10 minutes at the store to grab these items and another 5 minutes or so to put them together at home. It will also be so much better than anything you could order out.
The steps to make these roast beef sandwiches are as easy and simple as the ingredients. I probably do not need to even write it out here but just in case you are not sure, let me show you.
Steps to making these Italian Sandwiches:
- Make your flavored mayonnaise by taking store-bought mayonnaise and adding garlic, lemon and basil.

- Top with your Italian pickles veggies.

Super easy. I have to say, I would pay a good bit of money to order a sandwich like this at a deli.
I don't even think it would be that good.
This is seriously a delicious and easy sandwich and one that we love to make around our house. I think you will really enjoy it as well.
