- 1/4 C. salt
- 1/4 C. black pepper
- 1 tsp. red pepper flakes
- 35 freshly baked French rolls
- 1 1/2 lbs. sliced mozzarella cheese (for smaller portions reduce ingredients proportionally)
Directions For roasting times, figure on 10-12 minutes per pound for medium. Check with a meat thermometer for an internal temperature of 130 degrees Fahrenheit for rare, 140 degrees Fahrenheit for medium
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place sirloin in a roasting pan and dry roast for 15-20 minutes.
2. Remove pan from oven and add water, oregano, garlic, salt, pepper and pepper flakes. Return to oven and roast at 350 degrees for 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
