Instructions

Step 1: Prep
  Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion.
  Halve, core, and thinly slice green pepper crosswise into strips.

Step 2: Make Garlic Mayo
  In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (add up to 1/2 tsp if you like; you’ll use more later).
  Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Cook Vegetables
  Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
  Add onion and green pepper.
  Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, 5-7 minutes.
  Season with salt and pepper.
  Transfer to a plate.
  Wipe out pan.

Step 4: Roast Baguettes
  Meanwhile, place 2 TBSP butter and ¼ tsp garlic powder (add more if desired) in a second small microwave-safe bowl.
  Microwave until just softened, 10 seconds. (TIP: Do so in 5-second intervals, checking in between, to avoid melting.)
  Season with salt and pepper; stir to combine.
  Slice baguettes lengthwise, stopping before you get all the way through; spread garlic butter onto cut sides.
  Place cut sides up on a second baking sheet.
  Toast on middle rack of oven until golden, 2-3 minutes.

Step 5: Cook Steak
  Pat diced steak dry with paper towels.
  Season generously with salt and pepper.
  Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for veggies over high heat.
  Add steak and Italian Seasoning.
  Cook, stirring, until steak is browned and cooked through, 2-3 minutes.
  Reduce heat to low and stir in stock concentrate and 2 TBSP water.
  Season with salt and pepper.
  Return cooked veggies to pan; stir to combine.

Step 6: Finish and Serve
  Spread bottom halves of garlic buns with half the garlic mayo.
  Top with steak and veggie mixture, then sprinkle with mozzarella.
  Return to oven until cheese melts, 2-3 minutes.
  Divide sandos and potatoes between plates.
  Serve with remaining garlic mayo on the side.
