The Wedgie

The sandwich I'm posting today is a recreation of the "Wedgie" sandwich sold at Tobey's (a pizza place) in Oil City, PA. We usually get them when we go there to visit family, but I though it would be fun to recreate it.

The sandwich isn't complicated but I would suggest making the meat in advance. I made it the day of, and was super tired after cooking and shredding the beef.

You could make your own pizza crust, but the precooked stuff you find in stores actually tastes more like the original.

The Wedgie
2 pre-made pizza crusts
sliced mozzarella cheese
3lb inexpensive beef roast
tomatoes
lettuce
mayonnaise
salt/pepper






Season the beef roast and place it in a big saute pan. Let in brown on one side and then flip, once it browns on both sides, add some water to the pan and cover it. (You could also use beef broth.)
Continue adding water as it evaporates. Cook until the roast is well done. Set aside and let cool, then shred.

(A/N: This may seem like a weird way to make roast, but this is the way my grandma does it, and the meat in the sandwich tasted exactly like her roast.)
Toast the pan crusts under the broiler then cover one with the mozzarella, put in under the broiler until the cheese melts. Then cover the cheese covered crust with the shredded beef and the other crust. Cut into 4 pieces and serve with lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise so people can top it how they prefer.
