South of the Border Steak Sandwiches

By Susan52

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 medium-sized onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
• 1 1/2 pounds beef top sirloin steak, cut into short, thin strips
• 3/4 cup medium picante sauce
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
• 3 (8-inch) hoagie or hero rolls, split
• 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add steak and cook 4 to 5 minutes, or until steak is no longer pink. Add picante sauce, cumin, and garlic powder. Increase heat to high and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 more minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated.

Preheat the broiler. Place the rolls cut side up on a baking sheet and broil just until golden. Spoon meat mixture evenly over rolls and top with cheese.

Broil 3 to 5 minutes, or just until cheese has melted. Cut sandwiches in half and serve with additional picante sauce, if desired.
