Serves 2

Equipment:

• French Knife
• Cutting Board
• Wooden Spoon
• Saute Pan
• Toaster Oven
• 4 Frill Toothpicks
• 2 Plates

Ingredients:

• 1 small onion, sliced
• 1 clove garlic, sliced
• 1 teaspoon grapeseed oil
• 1/4 cup tomato-based bbq sauce
• 8 oounces thin-sliced roast beef
• 2 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 fresh-baked bulkie rolls
• 2 large romaine leaves, shredded
• 4 large slices tomato
• mayonnaise
• 2 ounces potato chips
• 2 dill pickle spears

How to Make:

The onion and garlic should be sliced lengthwise into strips (not half-rings) about an inch long and an eighth inch wide. Put the oil into the saute pan and over a medium flame, heat it until it is just barely starting to smoke. Add the onion and the garlic, turn the flame down lslightly. The hot oil should slightly brown the edges. Stirring constantly, saute until the onions are clear. Remove from pan and set aside.

Add the bbq sauce to the pan, and heat until steaming. Add the roast beef and heat until desired level of doneness is reached: for rare, just stir in and remove from heat, for well done, cook thoroughly. Add the onion/garlic mixture and mix together.

Slice the buns in half, and toast the top halves. Divide the beef between the two bottom halves. Top each with an ounce of the shredded cheese, and toast in oven just long enough to melt the cheese.

While the cheese is melting, spread the mayonnaise on the buns, and top with lettuce and tomato. Put the sandwiches together, pick through, and cut in half so that each half has a frill pick in the center of the sandwich half.

Place the sandwich halves on the plates with the cut edges facing outwards, with the cut edges of the sandwiches running diagonally from the top of the plates to the left and right sides. Place the pickle horizontally at the top of the plate, and the chips on the bottom of the plates.
