I've lived in Sacramento most of my life and just tried The Pepper Steak Sandwich from Tony Baloney today. I'm so excited to try making it at home. Thanks for the recipe.

I was searching the Internet for a copy cat recipe for Tony Baloney's pepper steak sandwiches. It's a tiny family run gem in Sacramento where I lived years ago. This is spot on the recipe. No doubt in my mind. Man I miss that place!

Very good sandwich. I opted to cook the green pepper and onion first, then set them aside to drain. Added the garlic and beef and cooked until medium rare, then added the green pepper and onion back to the skillet for serving. Loved the olive oil brushed on the bread, made it a lovely golden brown.
