California Cheesesteak
- 4 whole Sandwich Rolls
- 4 teaspoons Extra-virgin Olive Oil, Divided
- 12 ounces, weight Provolone Cheese
- 8 ounces, weight Roast Beef Lunch Meat
- 1 whole Bell Pepper
- 1 whole Onion
- 1 dash Garlic Powder
- These are really good.
- You will feel like you are cheating, but dont worry no guilt associated with these babies.
- It is my take on a Philly cheese steak.
- I like mine on a 100 calorie sandwich square, but you can use any roll or bread you like.
- I also like to grill the bread with a little olive oil.
- You just drizzle the extra virgin olive oil (olive oil spray works great also) on your bread and lay it flat in a pan on high heat allowing the bread to get nice and crisp.
- You dont even need that much olive oil to get the job done.
- Or, you can lay your bread open without any olive oil and let the broiler crisp up the bread.
- Either way so good.
- I keep mine nice and light with one slice of provolone split into two equal pieces, but you can adjust the amount of cheese to your preference.
- You may want to add some mayo just before serving, but its good without the mayo too.
- As for the roast beef lunch meat I like to use Hormel Natural.
- This has great flavor and no added nitrates.
- You could easily use any brand that you have available or even chicken or turkey lunch meat works well too!
- Go ahead and thinly slice your bell pepper and onion.
- Add about a teaspoon or so of olive oil to a saute pan and toss your bell peppers and onion in with a sprinkling of garlic powder.
- Saute these over medium-high heat for a good 6-8 minutes allowing them to get nice and caramelized.
- You will want to take the roast beef out and slice it into strips.
- Add this to your bell pepper mixture and heat through, allowing the roast beef to brown up.
- This gives your roast beef such good flavor!
- Meanwhile you can toast up your rolls (if you want to skip this step you can throw your assembled sandwich in the oven for about 5 minutes at 375F at the end to make the bread crispy minus the mayo).
- Just place your cheese on your bread and top with the hot roast beef and onion/bellpepper filling.
- Eat and enjoy!
