Cheesesteak Subs

2 T. butter or olive oil
1 onion, halved and sliced into thin half moons
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/4 t. dried oregano
2 T. A-1 steak sauce
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
1 c. beef broth
2 T. flour mixed with 2 T. cold water - for thickening
1 lb deli roast beef, cut into 2-inch strips (or 1 lb ground beef, browned)
Salt and pepper
4 (6-inch) sub rolls, split partially open lengthwise
8 slices provolone cheese

In a large skillet, melt the butter. Add the onion and cook until softened and golden, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and oregano and cook for a minute, until it smells fragrant. Add the A-1 sauce, W sauce, broth and the beef, stirring well to coat the beef with the sauce and onion/butter mixture. Stir in the flour/water mixture. Cook until the meat is heated through & the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.

Place the sliced rolls on a rimmed baking sheet. Divide the beef mixture among the rolls. Top with the cheese and broil until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes (don’t even take your hand off the oven door handle – stand right there so they don’t burn!). Serve immediately.
