Rib-Eye and Roasted-Tomato SandwichesRomulo Yanes

Roasting turns a so-so tomato into something pretty tasty, but it makes a high-season beauty that much more amazing. Here, the tomatoes can be roasted ahead of time so you can avoid having your oven on during the afternoon heat.

Cooks' notes:

· Tomatoes can be roasted 1 day ahead, cooled, and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before using. · Steaks can be cooked in a hot lightly oiled large (2-burner) ridged grill pan.
