This is a delicious sandwich. My DH says it's like something he'd order at a nice restaurant for lunch. We made it with cube steaks and sliced Swiss, although neither of us has ever had cube steaks before! Instead of wrapping the sandwiches in foil at the end, a method I will probably try in the future, we grilled slices of sourdough bread in the same grill pan used to cook the veggies. This is going into my Best of 2011 cookbook. Thanks, Sue's Kitchen! Made for Spring 2011 PAC.

Flavor, very good. Easy and simple I made them as minis. I had some very good crusty hard rolls made at a bakery for another event so I finished them up so I cut the cube steaks in smaller pieces to fit. I seasoned and cooked as directed to try the recipe first and I didn't like the cube steak. It was too tough for me cooking as directed. So the second batch I made again as it, however, I cooked the cube as directed and then added 1/2 cup beef broth and simmered for 15 minutes or so as I fed the cats and watered the plants. It made all the difference. I then finished them in the oven as instructed. Just that little bit to tenderize the steak made them tender and not dry. Finished it with the swiss cheese or gruyere is what I had ... same thing and I did have 1/4 red and 1/4 green pepper, but that changed nothing. It was very good. I'll give it five stars because it was easy and simple with great flavor. Maybe it is just me with the tenderness of the meat, but - once it was tender it was absolutely delish and it took just a few more minutes. But will definitely make it again, Thx for sharing Kim

Excellent! I used top round steak that was sliced very thin because it's what I had on hand, and it turned out great. Very easy to prepare, and was a huge hit in our house.

I don't normally like cubed steak, but this was so good! I used cubed pork steak and canned sliced mushrooms because I didn't have fresh. I look forward to making this again soon.
