OPEN-FACED NY STRIP "PHILLY CHEESE STEAKS"

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slice the baguette into 1/4-inch thick rounds, drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet, and bake until crisp and lightly golden, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool in a single layer.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and peppers and cook, stirring often, until onions are golden brown and peppers are tender.
• Season steak with salt and pepper. In another large skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook about 6 minutes per side, or until an instant-read meat thermometer registers 120 degrees F. Set aside to cool. Slice the steak "paper thin" (a slicer is great for this). Keep warm until ready to assemble.
• To assemble:
• Lay a slice of meat on each slice of baguette toast and top with 1 teaspoon of caramelized onions and peppers and a drizzle of the cheese sauce. Serve.

Steps:

• For cheese sauce, in a small saucepan whisk together milk and flour to blend. Heat and stir over medium-high heat to bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently until thickened. Stir in cheese and 1/4 tsp. salt untl cheese is melted. Simmer about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until sauce is velvety and thick. Remove from heat. Cover surface with foil to keep warm and to prevent a skin from forming on top.

• Place 6 oz. of the meat into the rolls and push the meat on one side of the roll and deposit the toppings next to it.
