How to Make Italian Beef Sandwiches

I love Italian beef sandwiches! However to get a decent one I have to drive about 30 minutes and they are a rarity in my life. I had some leftover beef tenderloin I smoked a few days ago and decided to try making my own. I should have done this years ago. They turned out fantastic.

How to make Posole

So this weekend I had a 2 lb pork tenderloin staring at me from the fridge. I was having some friends over for dinner and it had started to really cool off in the early afternoon. So I decided to make Posole out of it. I was feeling a bit lazy so about 70% of the ingredients are not in the pictures. This great soup is easy to make and super delicious.
