based on the original Philly Cheese Steak

First, thinly slice the meat, onions, bell pepper, and cheese. This is quicker with a food processor. This dish is best prepared on an electric griddle. However, since not everyone has a griddle (I don’t either), we use a large frying pan. Heat it up. Then cover the bottom with oil. Fry the onions and bell pepper over medium heat until the onions caramelize (about 8 minutes), stirring frequently to prevent them from burning. Next, add the garlic, salt, and pepper, stir-fry for 30 seconds, then remove everything from the pan and set aside. Add the meat to the hot pan and cook until cooked through, stirring constantly. Meanwhile, use two spatulas to gradually pull the meat apart. Once the meat is cooked through, add the vegetables and mix everything together. Then place the cheese on top and let it melt. Cut the baguette open and fill it with the mixture. Drizzle the filling with a little ketchup, if desired. Instead of baguette, I use pre-baked baguette rolls. They’re still warm when I fill them. You can also use other bread, like ciabatta. If you like it spicy, put some jalapenos (like Fuego) in the baguette first.
