Does Arby's Still Sell Chicago-Style Italian Beef?

Arby's once sold Chicago-style Italian beef sandwiches as part of a trio of city-specific sandwiches in 2017. However, it disappeared almost as quickly as it arrived.
While it was still a fast food take, it did convincingly approximate the authentic sandwich’s combination of spices, jus, giardiniera, and peppers with thinly-sliced beef.
The throwback sandwich included red, yellow, and banana peppers, which are no longer all available at the chain. This means it is impossible to recreate it through menu hacks.
To recreate the sandwich yourself, add deli-style banana peppers, fire roasted red and yellow peppers, and some Italian seasoning to Arby's French dip sandwich.
