OK so I was trying to come up with something for KY3 last week. And while I was sitting in bed with my netbook on my lap watching the opening theme song for Two and a Half Men I thought to myself, "I ought to make like the ultimate Mans Man of a sandwich." I did, and let me tell ya while I was at the studio making the Sandwich that we'd show as the finished product at the end of the cooking segment, I'm pretty sure every Man that does or ever has worked at that TV station started coming out of the woodwork. Many of them looked a little leery, as though they had not set foot out of their cubicle or out of a dark viewing room in about a year. I always try and make sure that my camera man gets to try whatever I happen to be making that week so I made a sandwich for him and not only did he thoroughly enjoy it, but he made it a point to show every guy that walked through that room what he was eating and they weren't. It was pretty funny. So long story short if you have a Man's Man hanging around, or really just any kind of man who likes food in general this ones a winner. Enjoy!
4 6-ounce rib eye steaks
1 large green bell pepper, sliced
1 large yellow onion, sliced
1 loaf of wide French bread, cut into four even pieces
1 cup of shredded Swiss or mozzarella cheese
4 tablespoons of butter
2 teaspoons of salt
2 teaspoons of pepper
4 teaspoons of granulated garlic
In a medium saute pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add onion and bell pepper; toss until onions and pepper becomes soft. Set aside until mixture reaches room temperature.
Cut a cavity into each steak, cutting a slit into the side about 2/3 of the way through the steak, about 3 inches wide, making a pocket for stuffing. Stuff each steak with sauteed peppers, onions and shredded cheese. Secure with toothpicks.
Combine seasonings and sprinkle mixture liberally onto each steak. Place onto hot grill or preheated saute pan.
Cut each 1/4 of bread loaf in half length wise. Spread butter onto the inside of the bread and place open side down onto hot grill or saute pan for about 30 seconds to toast.
When steak is cooked to desired temperature, remove from grill and place on bread immediately. Serve with side salad or fries.
Recipe serves four.
