Preparation

Step 1

For the sauce: In food processor bowl, combine the shallot, chili pepper, garlic, bay leaves, mustard seed, sherry, Worcestershire sauce and peppercorns and process into a smooth paste. Place the paste into a pot and combine with the ketchup, soy sauce and beef stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes. Cool and refrigerate for a make-ahead meal.

Pre-heat the oven to 325ºF to crisp the bread.

Reheat the sauce over medium-low heat.

Place the flank steak in the freezer for 5 minutes or until cold. Remove and shred or cut the cold flank steak against the grain. Throw the bread in the oven to crisp it up. In a skillet, heat the oil over high heat until it smokes. Add the meat and toss for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and combine the steak with the warm sauce. Cut the rolls open and stuff the hoagies with spicy greens and the hot 'n saucy steak.
