Gourmet Barbecue Beef Sandwiches Recipe
These beef sandwiches were a tradition in my family on winter vacations after a long day of snow skiing, but they’re a hit anytime we make them. Serving the savory barbecue beef on croissants with melty provolone cheese makes the sandwiches a little more special. —Katie Anderson, Vancouver, Washington
