Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound (454 grams) thinly sliced roast beef or cooked beef brisket
Bread:
- 4–6 hoagie rolls, french bread, or sturdy sandwich buns
Cheese:
- 8–10 slices provolone, swiss, or mozzarella cheese
Vegetables:
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green or red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
Condiments and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
Optional Ingredients:
- hot sauce, a few dashes
- mayonnaise or mustard, for spreading on rolls
Instructions
- Sauté aromatic onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic in a blend of olive oil and butter over medium heat until vegetables turn translucent and tender, approximately 5-6 minutes.
- Pour beef broth and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer and develop rich flavors for 3-4 minutes.
- Gently introduce thinly sliced beef into the simmering liquid, heating thoroughly without overcooking to maintain tenderness, about 2-3 minutes.
- Prepare sandwich rolls by lightly toasting them to achieve a crisp exterior and soft interior.
- Construct sandwiches by layering warm beef, caramelized vegetables, and cheese slices generously across the toasted rolls.
- Position assembled sandwiches under the broiler at 500°F, watching carefully until cheese becomes completely melted and slightly bubbly, roughly 2-3 minutes.
- Customize sandwiches with optional condiments like tangy mustard, creamy mayonnaise, or zesty hot sauce according to personal preference.
Notes
- Customize the meat selection by using roast beef, shredded chicken, or pulled pork for variety and dietary preferences.
- Opt for gluten-free rolls or lettuce wraps to make the sandwich celiac-friendly and lower in carbohydrates.
- Use low-sodium beef broth and reduced-fat cheese to create a healthier version without compromising flavor.
- Enhance the sandwich’s nutritional profile by adding fresh spinach, arugula, or sliced tomatoes for extra vitamins and crunch.
