1 1/2 c. beef stock
 1 c. water
 3 tbsp. tomato paste
 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
 1/2 tsp. salt
 1 bay leaf
 1/4 tsp. minced garlic
 1 lb. rare roast beef, sliced thin
 2 lg. green peppers, sliced lengthwise
 4 loaves Italian bread (4"-5 long)
 
    Combine beef stock, water, tomato paste, pepper, salt, bay leaf
 and garlic in a skillet.  Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.  Taste
 and adjust seasonings.  Add roast beef slices and green pepper
 slices.  Cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes. While beef is cooking heat
 bread in a 350 degree oven for a few minutes.  Cut loaves of bread
 into half lengthwise.  Dip each piece of bread, cut side down, into
 pan liquid (omit this step if you like a dry beef sandwich).
 Assemble sandwiches dividing beef and peppers evenly between the 4
 loaves of bread.
