1

Chop the white onion and green bell pepper into slices.

2

Heat the Blackstone grill on high.

3

Add olive oil to the grill to coat the surface.

4

Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the grill; sauté until caramelized and soft, about a few minutes.

5

Check the vegetables; they should be well-cooked and caramelized.

6

Prepare the French bread by cutting it in half, not completely through, to create a pocket for the sandwich.

7

Remove some of the bread's interior if desired for more filling space.

8

Lower the grill temperature and add more olive oil if needed.

9

Add the thinly sliced beef to the grill; season with salt and pepper.

10

Cook the beef until browned on both sides, adjusting heat if necessary for desired doneness.

11

Cut the cooked beef into small pieces with a spatula.

12

Spread mayonnaise on the inside of the French bread.

13

Place the beef on the bread and add a generous amount of pepper jack cheese on top.

14

Add water to the grill to create steam, which helps melt the cheese and soften the bread.

15

Cover the sandwich with a lid or another surface to help the cheese melt and the bread toast.

16

Once the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy, remove the sandwich from the grill.

17

Add more mayonnaise on the sandwich before serving if desired.
