Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 lb top sirloin steak
  • 2 french baguette
  • 8 oz sliced swiss cheese
  • 1 yellow onions
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 8 oz white button mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper

Method

  1. Freeze the steak 15 minutes to firm it, then slice as thinly as you can against the grain.

  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over high and cook the sliced onion, pepper, and mushrooms 7 minutes until browned. Move to a bowl.

  3. Add the steak in a single layer and cook 2 to 3 minutes, tossing, until just past pink. Season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire.

  4. Return the vegetables and chop everything together with the edge of a spatula.

  5. Split the baguettes, divide the filling among them, and lay the Swiss over the top.

  6. Slide under a hot broiler for 2 minutes until the cheese melts, then cut each into two portions.
