Instructions

Prepare the vinaigrette

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Pro tip: Let the vinaigrette rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavours to meld.

Cook the beef

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Pro tip: Ensure the beef reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for safety.

Slice the rolls

Cut the submarine rolls in half lengthwise, without slicing all the way through.

Pro tip: Warm the rolls in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes for a toasted texture.

Assemble the sandwiches

Spread a generous amount of vinaigrette on the inside of each roll. Layer with cooked beef, sliced tomato, and shredded lettuce.

Pro tip: Add extra toppings like pickles or onions for more flavour.

Serve

Cut each assembled sandwich in half and serve immediately.
