Ingredients

• 1 pound beef roast (such as chuck or brisket)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 slices of cheddar cheese
• 4 slices of mozzarella cheese
• 4 sandwich rolls (sub rolls or hoagie buns)
• 1/2 cup pickled jalapeños
• Optional: fresh cilantro for garnish

How to Make Cheesy Beef Sandwich

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef roast with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Brown the beef roast on all sides in the skillet, about 3-4 minutes per side.
4. Transfer the beef to a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake in the preheated oven for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
5. Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Shred the beef using two forks.
6. Slice the sandwich rolls in half and place them on a baking sheet. Layer shredded beef evenly on the bottom half of each roll.
7. Top the beef with cheddar and mozzarella slices, then place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Remove from the oven, add pickled jalapeños on top of the cheese, and cover with the top half of the sandwich roll.
9. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, marinate the beef in your favorite spices overnight before cooking.
• If you prefer a spicier kick, use fresh jalapeños instead of pickled.
• Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack or gouda for unique flavor profiles.

Easy Variations

• Replace the beef with shredded chicken or pork for a different protein option.
• Add sautéed onions and bell peppers for extra texture and flavor.
• Try a different type of bread, such as ciabatta or French baguettes.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy potato wedges or fries
• A fresh green salad with vinaigrette
• Coleslaw for a crunchy side
• Pickles or potato chips for added crunch
