Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 green bell pepper, cut into 1" strips (1/3 cup)
1 small onion, roughly chopped (1/3 cup)
1/2 cup thinly sliced mushrooms
4 - 6 Steak-Umm frozen sandwich steaks (I used 6)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 - 3 tablespoons salted butter or margarine
4 slices Provolone cheese (can use shredded)
2 hoagie or French rolls (Pepperidge Farm brand shown)

Steps:

  • Chop all the veggies; set aside. Lay out 2 sheets of aluminum foil on counter. Slice hoagie rolls if needed (mine were already sliced); set aside. Preheat oven to 300 F. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a medium non-stick skillet on medium-high heat. Add frozen Steak-umms; add a little salt and pepper and brown meat on both sides. Remove to a bowl and keep warm. In same skillet, heat a little more butter (if needed); add the mushrooms with a little salt and pepper and cook for a couple of minutes, until soft and lightly browned. Remove to a bowl. To the same skillet over medium/medium-high heat, melt another pat of butter (if needed); add the onions and bell peppers (and a little salt and pepper) and saute until crisp tender and lightly browned. Remove from skillet. Cut or tear 1 slice of cheese to fit on the bottom (cut side) of a hoagie roll. Top with half the cooked meat; then with half the veggies. Cut or tear another slice of cheese and place on top of veggies. Roll up tightly in the foil. Repeat steps for the remaining hoagie. Place hoagies directly on the middle oven rack and heat for 15 minutes. Unwrap and serve immediately (in the foil) with a side of potato chips or French fries.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: The bread is an essential part of a cheese steak sandwich, so choose one that is sturdy enough to hold up to the juicy meat and melted cheese. A good option is a French roll or a hoagie roll.
  • Use thinly sliced steak: The steak should be thinly sliced so that it cooks quickly and evenly. You can use any type of steak, but rib eye or flank steak are good choices.
  • Season the steak: Before cooking the steak, season it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: The steak should be cooked over high heat so that it gets a nice sear. Cook the steak for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Add the cheese: Once the steak is cooked, add the cheese. You can use any type of cheese, but provolone or cheddar are popular choices.
  • Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help to make it crispy and flavorful. You can toast the bread in a toaster oven or on a grill.
  • Assemble the sandwich: Once the bread is toasted, add the steak, cheese, and any other desired toppings. Serve the sandwich immediately.

Conclusion:

The cheese steak sandwich is a classic American sandwich that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a delicious and satisfying sandwich that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a cheese steak sandwich that everyone will enjoy.
