TRIPLE PEPPER STEAK SANDWICHES

Triple Pepper Steak Sandwiches image

Make parts of this steak sandwich recipe ahead of time and you can assemble the sandwich quickly for a weeknight meal. This fork-and-knife sandwich works very well with leftover fajita meat and peppers, or as a way to use leftover grilled steak or chicken. The chipotle cream sauce can be made up to three days in advance.-Robert Taylor, Shawnee, Kansas
