Instructions

Preheat a grill, skillet, or griddle over medium-high heat.
Season the steak with salt and pepper on both sides. Place it on the preheated grill or skillet and cook for about 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness. Adjust the cooking time based on your desired level of doneness.
While the steak is cooking, heat the olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and green peppers, and sauté until they are caramelized and softened, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the steak is done, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the steak thinly against the grain.
To assemble the subs, split the sub rolls or hoagie buns and place the sliced steak on the bottom halves. Top with the sautéed onions and green peppers, and then layer with the cheese slices. Place the subs in a preheated oven or under a broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the subs from the oven and serve immediately.

Notes

Be sure to choose a good quality cut of steak with marbling for the best flavor and tenderness. Don’t forget to season the steak generously with salt and pepper before cooking to enhance its taste. When caramelizing the onions and peppers, make sure to cook them slowly over medium heat to achieve a sweet and tender result. Toasting the sub rolls or hoagie buns before assembling also adds a delightful crunch. Lastly, feel free to customize your subs by adding condiments like mayonnaise, mustard, or hot sauce. Serve these subs with a side of crispy fries or a refreshing salad for a complete meal and enjoy!

Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges

Begin by preheating your oven and grabbing some sweet potatoes. After washing and drying them, slice each potato lengthwise into wedge shapes. In a large bowl, toss these wedges with a bit of olive oil, ensuring they're well-coated. Season with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you fancy – a sprinkle of paprika or cinnamon can be a nice touch. Spread them out on a baking sheet, ensuring they're not crowded to achieve that perfect roast. Bake until they're golden and slightly crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside.

Lemony Kale Salad

Start by de-stemming your kale leaves and chopping them into bite-sized pieces. Remember, kale can be a bit tough, so give it a little massage with your hands to soften it up and enhance its natural sweetness. For the dressing, whisk together freshly squeezed lemon juice, some zesty lemon zest, olive oil, and a hint of salt and pepper. This simple dressing is a burst of citrusy goodness that pairs beautifully with the robustness of the kale. Toss the massaged kale in the lemon dressing, ensuring every leafy nook and cranny is coated. To finish, sprinkle on sunflower seeds and pine nuts for a delightful crunch.

Macaroni Salad

To whip this dish up, start by boiling a pot of water and cooking your macaroni until it's al dente. While it cooks, chop up some crunchy celery, sweet bell peppers, and a red onion for a burst of color and flavor. Once the pasta is done, drain and let it cool. In a separate bowl, mix together mayo, a splash of vinegar, a pinch of sugar, and some mustard to create that tangy dressing we all love. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Now, toss the cooled macaroni with the chopped veggies, and then fold in the dressing, ensuring everything gets a good coat. Let it chill in the fridge for a couple of hours to let those flavors meld. Before serving, give your Macaroni Salad a sprinkle of paprika or fresh parsley.
