Ingredients
4
bolillo rolls
fresh
1
pound
beef pastrami
shaved
8
slices
provolone cheese
2
cups
sweet onion
sliced 1/4 inch thick
4-6
tablespoon
extra-virgin olive oil
3-4
pinches
garlic powder
3-4
pinches
dry oregano
Instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 400° F.
Slice the bolillos lengthwise down the middle and place two overlapping slices of cheese against the top side.
Heat a non-stick pan to medium or medium-high.
Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and half of the onions.
Toss until the onions are starting to brown.
Remove from heat before they become too soft.
Transfer to a paper plate and repeat with the rest of the sliced onions.
Then add 2-3 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan, add the shaved pastrami, and sprinkle the pinches of garlic powder and oregano.
Toss until the meat is heated, well covered in olive oil, and the seasonings are well distributed.
Add the onions and toss to mix well.
Spoon equal amounts into the prepared bolillos.
Place in the hot oven for a couple of minutes or just until the cheese finishes melting.
Serve hot.
Notes
I recommend browning the onions in two batches. Otherwise, the onions will crowd the pan and will not caramelize before getting too soft.
