Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound roast beef, sliced
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: sautéed onions and peppers
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your sandwiches are heated through and the cheese melts perfectly.
- In a small saucepan, combine the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Heat over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling. This will be used to moisten the roast beef and add flavor.
- While the broth mixture is heating, slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. You want the rolls to open like a book.
- If you are using sautéed onions and peppers, prepare them now. In a skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and sauté sliced onions and bell peppers until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced roast beef with the warm broth mixture. Stir gently to ensure the beef is well-coated and absorbs some of the broth flavor.
- Take the hoagie rolls and place them on a baking sheet. Open each roll and layer the bottom with the beef mixture, ensuring an even distribution.
- If you are using sautéed onions and peppers, add a generous spoonful on top of the roast beef in each sandwich.
- Place one slice of provolone cheese on top of the beef and optional vegetables in each hoagie roll.
- Season the sandwiches with salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the rolls are slightly toasted.
- Once done, remove the sandwiches from the oven and let them cool for a minute before serving. This will help prevent burns when biting into the hot sandwiches.
- Serve the hot roast beef and cheese sandwiches with extra beef broth on the side for dipping, if desired. Enjoy your delicious American-style meal!
