I remember when I was pregnant with my second, I craved roast beef sandwiches. I didnt want to buy the lunch meat because I knew I wasn’t supposed to eat that when I was pregnant. But then it dawned on my foggy pregnant brain, that if I made a roast, then I could make myself a roast beef sandwich. So now whenever we have extra roast, I like to slice it thin and then use it for Philly Cheese steak sandwiches or other yumminess.

Now if you have some roast beef, I have even used the lunch meat kind, you most likely have everything else on hand. I grabbed an onion, some garlic, a green pepper and some ginger; fried that up. When the onions were all carnelized, I added the sliced up roast beef and a dash of worchestire sauce and soy sauce and simmered until warm.

I didn’t have the traditional hoagie buns, or even sandwich bread. Instead I used a fresh from the oven warm loaf of french bread. I sliced it up and sprinkled some mozzarella cheese (I didn’t have provolone) and then topped it off with the onions and roast beef.

I will put the ingredients with what I used, instead of the more traditional ingredients. The best part is, is that it can be done in 30 minutes or less.

Ingredients

• 1-2 lbs sliced roast beef (deli roast beef works just fine too)
• 1 onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, sliced (optional)
• 1″ ginger, minced (optional)
• 1 green pepper, sliced (any color bell pepper will work)
• 2-3 Tbspn worchestire sauce
• 1-2 tspn soy sauce – to taste
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 loaf fresh French bread

Directions

• Slice the roast as thin as you can, and place to the side.
• Put a pan on medium-medium high heat with a little bit of butter, slice the onions and place in your warm pan.
• While the onions are getting soft, peel and slice the garlic and ginger and place in the pan to add some more flavor.
• When the onions are just softened add the peppers and turn the pan to medium-medium low.
• Cook for another 3-5 minutes until peppers are just starting to get soft, and add your sliced roast beef and your worchestire and soy sauce.
• Let everything simmer together for another 10 minutes or so.
• While everything is simmering, slice your French bread into one inch slices or so and sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
• When the meat and onions have simmered long enough, top your already made cheesey bread with your meat and onions and enjoy immediately.
