Cheesesteak Sandwiches

Dinner tonight was my version of cheesesteak sandwiches. I caramelized thinly sliced onion and bell pepper and then added thinly sliced leftover flank steak from last night. We had the sandwiches with Potato Chips With Garlic-Herb Cheese and leftover salad, minus the steak and blue cheese, from last night. Everything came together quickly.

Cheesesteak Sandwiches
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 bell pepper (I used a yellow one.), thinly sliced
1/2 lb. thinly sliced grilled flank steak
Salt and pepper
1/2 ciabatta loaf, cut in half lengthwise and widthwise
1/2 cup shredded colby-Jack cheese

1. Sauté onion and bell pepper in hot oil over medium heat 10 minutes; reduce heat to medium-low, and sauté 10 more minutes. Stir in sliced steak, and sauté 5 more minutes.
2. Scoop out insides of ciabatta pieces. Sprinkle one side with cheese; top with steak mixture, and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Top with ciabatta pieces.
3. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes or until cheese melts. Serve warm.
