Muffuletta Style Steak Hoagies Recipes

Steps:

• For the rolls: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Halve the rolls horizontally and remove some of the bread from the insides of the top halves. Drizzle the rolls evenly with the olive oil and grill until lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a tray and rub the toasted sides of the rolls with the garlic. Set aside.
• For the filling: Sprinkle the steak evenly on both sides with 1 teaspoon salt. Drizzle the onion slices with 1 teaspoon olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, being careful to keep the slices intact so that they are easier to grill. Place the steak and onions on the grill and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the steak reads 135 degrees F and the onions are deep golden, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Allow the steak to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• Meanwhile, combine the olives, basil, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, lemon juice, anchovy paste, oregano, roasted peppers and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large bowl. Mix well to combine. Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Add the sliced steak to the filling, along with the grilled onions and any accumulated juices from the plate. Toss well to combine.
• Place two slices of provolone on each toasted roll. Fill each roll with 1 cup arugula. Divided the steak filling among the rolls. Cut them in half and serve.

Put the steak on top of onions and add 1/2-ounce of the butter. Cover the pan for 2 1/2 minutes. The meat should have a cooked appearance on top and rare underneath. Using a fork and spatula separate steak from the onions. When the meat is cooked add the salt, remaining butter, and provolone. Cover to the pan to melt the cheese.

Steps:

• To Make Olive Salad: In a medium bowl, combine the green olives, kalamata olives, garlic, cauliflower, capers, celery, carrot, pepperoncini, cocktail onions, celery seed, oregano, basil, black pepper, vinegar, olive oil and canola oil. Mix together and transfer mixture into a glass jar (or other nonreactive container). If needed, pour in more oil to cover. Cover jar or container and refrigerate at least overnight.
• To Make Sandwiches: Cut loaves of bread in half horizontally; hollow out some of the excess bread to make room for filling. Spread each piece of bread with equal amounts olive salad, including oil. Layer 'bottom half' of each loaf with 1/2 of the salami, ham, mortadella, mozzarella and Provolone. Replace 'top half' on each loaf and cut sandwich into quarters.
• Serve immediately, or wrap tightly and refrigerate for a few hours; this will allow for the flavors to mingle and the olive salad to soak into the bread.
