1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon vegan worcestershire
1 carrot, cooked, peeled, and cut into large chunks
1 cup vegetable broth, or more depending on consistency wanted
½ tablespoon lemon juice
¼ cup nutritional yeast
½ teaspoon tomato paste
1 large potato, cooked, peeled, and cut into large chunks

Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a bowl and set aside.
Melt the vegan butter in the pan.

Add the paprika, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir well. Sauté for about 7 minutes until the mushrooms are dark brown and reduce in size by half.

Time 35m

Yield Makes 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

3 Tbsp. canola oil, divided
1 lb. mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and king oyster), sliced
½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt
¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chopped onion
6 Tbsp. Vegan Beer-Cheese Sauce
2 6" soft hoagie rolls, warmed but not toasted, split

Steps:

Heat a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over high heat, then add 2 Tbsp. canola oil. Add 1 lb. mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and king oyster), sliced, ½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt, and ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned and any liquid has evaporated, about 7 minutes.
Lower heat to medium-high and add 1 cup chopped onion and remaining 1 Tbsp. canola oil. Cook, stirring often, until onions are browned, about 5 minutes. Stir about 2 Tbsp. sauce into mushroom-onion mixture.
Coat two 6" soft hoagie rolls, warmed but not toasted, split on cut sides with remaining sauce. Divide mushroom-onion mixture between hoagie rolls and serve immediately.

Tips:

To make the perfect vegan cheesesteak sandwich, start with a good quality bread. A sturdy, yet soft bread like a hoagie roll or a sub roll will hold up well to the fillings.
Use a variety of mushrooms for a more flavorful sandwich. Cremini mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms are all good choices.
Cook the mushrooms until they are browned and tender. This will bring out their flavor and make them more satisfying in the sandwich.
Use a vegan cheese that melts well. There are many different brands of vegan cheese available, so experiment until you find one that you like.
Load up your sandwich with your favorite toppings. Some popular choices include grilled onions, peppers, avocado, and tomato.

Conclusion:

The vegan mushroom cheesesteak sandwich is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please even the most discerning palate. So next time you are looking for a hearty and flavorful sandwich, give the vegan mushroom cheesesteak a try.
