1 pound beef sirloin, cut
into thin 2 inch strips
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, sliced
1 green bell pepper, julienned
3 ounces Swiss cheese, thinly sliced
4 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise
Preparation:
1 Place the beef in a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper,
paprika, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, marjoram and basil.
Sprinkle over beef. 2 Heat half of the oil in a skillet over medium high heat.
Saute beef to desired doneness, and remove from pan. Heat the remaining oil in
the skillet, and saute the onion and green pepper. Preheat oven on broiler
setting. 3 To serve, divide the meat between the bottoms of 4 rolls, layer with
onion and green pepper, then top with sliced cheese. Place on cookie sheet, and
broil until cheese is melted. Cover with tops of rolls, and serve.
“Saved by the bell.”
In 17th-century England, a guard at Windsor Castle was accused of falling
asleep at his post. He claimed he was wrongly accused and could prove it; he had
heard the church bell chime 13 times at midnight. Townspeople supported his
claim and he was not executed. Today we think of the bell that ends a round in
boxing, often saving the boxer from injury, or the bell at the end of a class
period, saving you from more work. Regardless, this idiom means rescue from a
situation at the last possible moment.
