Recipe by Grace Parisi This is a stellar combination of juicy roast beef with bitter broccoli rabe and melty provolone cheese.

Ingredients

1 lb. broccoli rabe
1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil
extra-virgin olive oil
2 clove garlic
1 tsp. anchovy paste
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
24 slice provolone cheese

1 1/2 lb. leftover beef tenderloin or deli roast beef
1/4 c. Peppadew peppers

Instructions

Preheat a panini press or griddle. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli rabe and cook until bright green, about 3 minutes. Drain well.
In a large skillet, heat the 1/4 cup of oil. Add the minced garlic, anchovy paste, and crushed red pepper and cook over moderately high heat for 10 seconds.

Layer 2 slices of provolone on the bottom of each roll. Top with the broccoli rabe, roast beef, Peppadews, and the remaining provolone. Close the rolls and brush lightly with oil. Grill the sandwiches until toasted and the cheese is melted, about 7 minutes. Serve hot.
