Beyond Easy Cheesteak Sub

Super yummy and quick lunch or dinner. -Rachel

Inspired from Mel's Kitchen Cafe
*Makes 3-4 sandwiches

2 tablespoons butter
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2-3 tablespoons A-1 steak sauce
1 pound deli roast beef, cut into 2-inch strips (if you can, get Boars Head Roast beef at your local supermarket deli....so worth the extra $)
Salt and pepper
4 (6-inch) sub rolls, split partially open lengthwise
Swiss or provolone cheese

Preheat the broiler in your oven and adjust a rack to the upper-middle position. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt the butter, Add the onion and garlic powder,oregano and the A-1 sauce. Add the beef stirring well to coat the beef with the sauce. Cook until the meat is heated through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Place the sliced rolls on a rimmed baking sheet. Divide the beef mixture among the rolls. Top with the cheese and broil until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes (don’t even take your hand off the oven door handle – stand right there so they don’t burn!). Serve immediately.

Cafe Rio Pork



5 pounds of pork roast
2 cups of sweet salsa, pureed (mango salsa works best)
1 cup of mild or medium traditional salsa
1 can of pepsi
2 cups of brown sugar
Slice the raw meat so that it's about 1 inch thick. Boil it on the stove for 2-plus hours. Remove the roast from the pot and shred it. Add the meat and all the other ingredients into a crock pot for 4-plus hours. The longer it cooks the more tender it will be. Serve in a salad or throw it into a cheese quesadilla! Delicious!
