Before You Begin

Sirloin steak tips are often sold as flap meat. Lawry's Seasoned Salt is usually stocked with other spice blends in the grocery store. We developed this recipe with a red bell pepper, but any color pepper can be used. Keep the sub rolls hinged when splitting them; otherwise, these extra-full sandwiches have a tendency to fall apart when fully assembled.

Instructions

Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until beginning to brown, about 4 minutes.

Add bell pepper, mushrooms, and 1 teaspoon seasoned salt and cook until vegetables are tender, about 6 minutes. Transfer to bowl; set aside skillet.

Arrange rolls on rimmed baking sheet. Spread mayonnaise evenly on cut sides of each roll (1½ tablespoons each). Bake rolls until crusty and warmed through, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil in now-empty skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add steak tips and sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon seasoned salt. Scatter salami over top and cook, without stirring, until steak tips are browned on bottom, about 5 minutes.

Off heat, stir onion mixture into steak tips. Divide steak mixture evenly among rolls. Layer 2 slices American cheese over steak mixture on each roll. Bake until cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
