Ingredients

• 8 oz Roast beef, thinly sliced
• 2 Green chile, roasted and peeled (canned or fresh)
• 2 French baguette or crusty sandwich rolls
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp Lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 tbsp Cilantro, finely chopped (optional)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp Butter, softened

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Slice the baguette or sandwich rolls in half lengthwise. Lightly butter the cut sides and toast them in the skillet until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lime juice, cilantro (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the garlic lime aioli.

Step 4

Spread a generous layer of garlic lime aioli on the cut sides of the toasted bread.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in the skillet. Add the sliced roast beef and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until warmed through.

Step 6

Place the warmed roast beef on the bottom halves of the bread. Top with the roasted green chile and slices of cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Place the sandwiches back in the skillet. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat for about 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sandwich is warm.

Step 8

Close the sandwiches with the top halves of the bread and press gently.

Step 9

Serve the Picante Roast Beef Sandwich immediately with chips, a side salad, or your favorite side dish.
