Italian bread rolls- par baked (you finish baking at home)
They give you full instructions on the proper way to prepare the beef.
Hint: It must be 'fluffed' an hour or so before gently heating.
Portillo's has a signature salad- they don't offer that for ordering, but I have the recipe and make that at home. Guests usually wipe that out with gusto, too!

Thanks! I just ordered. You gave me the answer to what to have for Christmas Day lunch before we take off with our Michigan kids to the beach for a few days.
I also searched for and found the chopped salad recipe. I'm assuming that's the salad you wrote about. It has ditalini in it. I don't eat red meat, so this meal works for everyone--especially me, because I don't have to do much cooking.
