Italian Steak Sandwiches

We started this resolution in hopes to find some different recipes instead of the same thing each week. On some days there just isn’t enough time to cook dinner fast enough. One of our favorite quick meals is Reuben night & usually it makes the cut each week but Sean thought maybe this new recipe would “replace” Reuben night.  Really?  What is he thinking? We will see…….it looks like a quick sandwich with some pizzazz to deli roast beef. This comes to us from Taste of Home, Quick Cooking.

Italian Steak Sandwiches - 4 servings

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

2 Tbs olive or vegetable oil

16 slices of deli roast beef

½ cup beef broth

2 Tbs red wine or addt’l beef broth

2 tsp dried parsley flakes

2 tsp dried basil

¼ tsp salt

¼ tsp dried oregano

1/8 tsp pepper

4 sandwich rolls, split

4 slices provolone cheese

In a large skillet, sauté garlic & pepper flakes in oil.  Add roast beef, broth, wine or addt’l broth & seasonings; heat through.  Place beef slices on rolls; drizzle with broth mixture.  Top with cheese.

Tupps Tidbits ~ buy minced garlic in a jar to save time, toast the sandwich roll/buns

 

The seasoning is a bit overwhelming at first,  but we both decided if you do not have the seasoning you are back to just a roast beef sandwich.  Something to “dip” it in was missing, like when you have a French Dip.  Overall, it had good flavor & it is a good solution for those busy days.  It is defiantly a KEEPER but not replacing the Reuben night at our house.
