Sounds like "french dip."

French dips I've had are better beef and cost twice as much for half

I was wrong about the bread. *It's a roll.
I get a kick out of this:
"In the 1950s and '60s this dish was commonly known as "Dago Beef" and
signs on local taverns (and the menus within) would advertise it as
such well into the '80s. As the term Dago became more widely
understood to be offensive, the term Dago Beef has begun to vanish."

That's probably bull****. *I never saw "Dago Beef" in my life.
I grew up in rough places and Dago is a fighting word.
You could barely get away with guinea T.
Maybe purely mick neighborhoods. *Wouldn't put anything past the
micks.
