Phillidelphia Cheesesteak Sandwich

By jdwooten

Slice the bread in half horizontally, and pull out some of the soft insides to make it hollow. Eat the extra bread, save it to make breadcrumbs, or feed it to the birds—just don't waste it.
To make the olive salad: Coarsely chop the olives and cocktail onions. On average, the pieces should be about the size of a raisin. Combine all ingredients. Olive Salad will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one month.
Spoon half of the olive salad into the bottom portion of the loaf. Layer the meats, cheese, and roasted red pepper on top of that. Add the remaining olive salad, and quickly put the top half of the bread on before olive salad spills everywhere. If you're starving, go ahead to step 3, but if you can stand the wait, let the sandwich rest for at least 10 minutes so that the bread soaks up the juices. (Put it in the fridge if you’re letting it rest for longer than 15 minutes.)
Cut the giant sandwich into quarter-rounds to serve. Can you fit it in your mouth?

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup(s) vegetable oil
• 4 medium (about 1 1/4 pounds) onions, thinly sliced
• 1 1/2 pound(s) boneless sirloin, cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
• 1/4 teaspoon(s) chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon(s) ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon(s) salt
• 2 teaspoon(s) Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoon(s) molasses
• 2 clove(s) garlic
• 2 (about 12 ounces) red bell peppers, thinly sliced
• 2 (about 12 ounces) green bell peppers, thinly sliced
• 4 small (about 6 inches long) Italian or French loaves of bread, split open
• 1/2 cup(s) shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup(s) shredded provolone cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare the meat filling: In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat and sauté onions and sirloin until onions are soft -- about 3 minutes. Add chili powder, pepper, salt, Worcestershire, molasses, and garlic and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add red and green peppers and cook 3 more minutes.

Assemble the sandwiches: Preheat oven broiler. Fill each loaf with 2 cups of meat mixture and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons mozzarella and 2 tablespoons provolone. Place under broiler until cheese melts -- 30 seconds to 1 minute.
