Method

Cut the cooked meat into small, thin pieces.

Cook the onion and the meat in a frying pan with the vegetable oil until it’s completely caramelised, and then mix in the balsamic vinegar. Adjust the salt if you need to.

Cut the bread rolls in half and build the sandwich with the sliced tomato on the bottom, then add the meat and onion mixture, and the provolone cheese on top. Close
