THE GET OUT OF JAIL FREE MEAL! 

Spend too much money…MAKE THIS SANDWICH.  Pay a bill late…MAKE THIS SANDWICH.  Stay out too late with the guys…MAKE THIS SANDWICH. You forgot your anniversary…MAKE THIS SANDWICH.  Shrunk his favorite sweater…MAKE THIS SANDWICH. Trust me, make this sandwich for your significant other and they will forget all about what you did.

The first time we had this sandwich was with my friend Jenny, she was at working at an upscale restaurant and recommended it to my Husband.  He fell in love, and I became jealous of a sandwich.  Sad but true. The sandwich was so simple and good, not to mention good-looking.  Warm French bread, oozing cheese, steaming peppers, thin cut layers of Steak, and a pastel orange sauce that had the perfect amount of heat.  How could I not be jealous? I asked Jenny if she knew the secret to this sauce, she laughed and said it was only two ingredients!!!  I couldn’t believe it, here we were paying around $18 each for a sandwich and fries, and the main component that kept us coming back for more was only two ingredients!!!!!!  I could have saved my dollars and bought some shoes!  Needless to say the place closed, and I had to make my version of this steak sandwich.

For all the ingredients I spent $23.75, and this meal feeds about five that’s about $4.oo a person a whole lot better than $18 each.  There are so many benefits to making this yourself:

1. its cheaper! I can’t say that enough.
2. You can have seconds, or thirds.
3. You won’t embarrass yourself in public when you’re licking the plate.
4. You can eat this in front of your television, in your pajamas.
