For the roast, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rub the pepper and kosher salt into the beef, then set aside. Heat olive oil in a large, ovenproof saute pan until smoking hot. Add roast and sear well on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Place in oven and roast for about 20 minutes for medium-rare to medium doneness (internal temperature of roast should be 135-140 degrees). Let rest for 2 minutes before slicing the roast. While the roast is cooking, make the sauce. Place red wine, shallots, and garlic in a medium-size pan and boil over high heat until the wine is reduced to about 1/3 cup, 4 to 5 minutes. Add stock, peppers, and thyme and cook over low to medium heat until reduced to about 2 cups, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm. To assemble the sandwich, slice the beef and place on toasted French rolls. Serve the sauce on the side in a container that is wide enough to dip the sandwich in. Serve warm. Serves six.
