Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the French Fries

    Cook the French fries according to package instructions or fry them until golden and crispy. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil and sliced onions. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Prime Rib

    In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high. Add the shaved prime rib and cook until warmed through, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Lay the cooked prime rib on the bottom half of each grinder roll. Top with caramelized onions, roasted red peppers, and a slice of American cheese. Place the top half of the roll on.

  5. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet over low heat, cover with a lid, and let the cheese melt for about 2-3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the sandwiches hot with a side of crispy French fries.
