❤️ Why you'll love it

Recipe for One: this is a great go to recipe when there is just one or two people to feed.

Classic sandwich: this sandwich is packed with beefy cheesy goodness, just like the original Philly Cheesesteak!

Easy to customize: you can easily add your own favorite veggies or protein and make this sandwich your own.

🥘 Ingredients

Ciabatta bread or rolls: you need a firm sturdy bread, something with a good crust but still chewy and spongy in the center to soak up any broth.

Deli roast beef

Red bell pepper

Onion

Fresh garlic

Olive oil: to saute the veggies and garlic.

Rice vinegar: this will just be a splash, it deglazes the pan and adds a touch of acid.

Brown sugar: for just a touch of sweetness to balance out flavors.

Velveeta: I highly recommend using velveeta or an american cheese that melts easily.

Adding cheese and seasoning to peppers and onions.

🔪 Instructions

Heat oil in small skillet. Cook peppers, onions, and garlic until vegetables are tender.
Add vinegar, sugar, oregano, and cheese. Stir mixture and turn heat to simmer to let cheese slowly melt, stirring periodically.
Once cheese is melted, remove from heat and set aside until ready to assemble sandwich.
Meanwhile, toast bread in toaster oven until golden.
Place roast beef and beef broth in microwave safe bowl. Microwave in two 30-second intervals.
Using a fork, remove beef from broth and layer on bottom half of bun. Top beef with cheese pepper mixture and then cover with top bun half.

🥄 Equipment

Small skillet

Chef knife

Cutting board

Toaster oven

📖 Variations

Substitute turkey for the roast beef.
Use Monterey jack or colby jack cheese in place of velveeta.

💭 Tips

If you don't have a toaster oven, toast the bread under the oven broiler or in the air fryer until golden.
Once the cheese is added to the skillet, keep the burner on low setting and melt the cheese slowly to prevent burning.
