Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Slice the onions thinly. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized, approximately 20-25 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filet Mignon

    While the onions are caramelizing, season the filet mignon steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a separate skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steaks

    Sear the filet mignon steaks in the hot skillet for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of provolone cheese on each steak and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Peppers

    While the steak is resting, slice the hot peppers and set aside.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the sub rolls or ciabatta bread in half. Place a filet mignon with melted cheese on the bottom half, followed by the caramelized onions and sliced hot peppers. Top with the other half of the bread.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately while warm.
