METHOD

preparation

Heat your gas grill or fire up the grill to get the grill temperature to about 250 °C or 480 °F. When the grill is hot, clean the rack with a long brush. Remove the meat from the fridge for at least 30 minutes before grilling. We will need a cast iron griddle or cast iron pan for the grilling. If you don't have a grill, you can make them on the stove on a very high heat, too.
bread

Cut the sandwich bread lengthwise. Add butter to the griddle and toast the bread on each side for about a minute or until golden. Set aside until needed.
Beef patty

Pour oil onto the griddle and add the beef patties. Grill on one side for 2 minutes, then turn and chop with a grill spatula (turner). Grill for another 2 - 3 minutes.
add the veggies

Clean the peppers and cut into thin slices. Peel the onion and cut it into thin slices. Pour oil into a griddle, add the vegetables and grill for 3 - 4 minutes. Season with white wine vinegar and salt and toss to combine. Divide the veggies into four parts on the griddle. Add one chopped beef patty onto each chunch of vegetables. Add two slices of Mozarella cheese on top to cover the meat and vegetables and grill until the cheese melts.
Sandwich

Add the prepared vegetable and meat filling into the sandwich bread and serve warm.
