Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté until they are tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Meat

    If using smoked beef, slice it into thin strips. If using sliced pork, ensure it is heated through.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On a slice of Texas toast, layer the smoked beef or sliced pork, followed by the sautéed peppers and onions, and top with a slice of Swiss cheese. Place another slice of Texas toast on top.

  5. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if necessary. Grill the sandwich on medium heat until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half, and serve hot.
