Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds cremini mushrooms, (sliced)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
1 large onion, (halved and thinly sliced)
1 clove garlic, (minced)
1 large green bell pepper, (sliced)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 cups old cheddar cheese, (grated)
4 large crusty buns

Steps:

  • In a large sauté pan, on medium-high heat, add the olive oil, butter, salt, and pepper.
  • When the butter has melted, add the mushrooms. Stirring often, fry until the mushrooms are lightly browned and beginning to caramelize - about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the soy sauce and the Worcestershire sauce and stir well.
  • Next, add the onions. Stir into the mushroom mixture and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add in the garlic and green pepper. Stir to combine. Cook until the peppers have softened slightly - about 3-5 minutes.
  • Once the peppers are cooked through, add the fresh thyme leaves and stir through.
  • In the meantime, slice the buns in half and place them on a baking sheet cut side up. Place under the broiler and toast until they are a light golden colour.
  • Remove the buns from the oven. Split the mushroom mixture equally between the buns. Pile the mixture high on the bottom half only.
  • Top the mushroom mixture with the cheese and return the sandwiches to the broiler.
  • Keep a close eye on the cheese - since everything is already cooked, you will just want the cheese to be melted.
  • Plate and serve immediately with chips.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all of your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will help you save time and avoid any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use fresh mushrooms: Fresh mushrooms will give your sandwich the best flavor and texture. If you can, try to find cremini or portobello mushrooms, as they have a more meaty flavor than other types of mushrooms.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the mushrooms, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to steam than sauté.
  • Season the mushrooms well: Don't be afraid to season the mushrooms generously. A good combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder will give them plenty of flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this sandwich, so make sure you use a good quality cheese that melts well. Provolone, cheddar, or mozzarella are all good choices.
  • Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help it hold up better to the sandwich and will also give it a nice crispy texture.
  • Serve immediately: Philly cheese steak sandwiches are best served hot and fresh. So, assemble them just before you're ready to eat them.

Conclusion:

The Vegetarian Mushroom Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich is a delicious and satisfying sandwich that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It's packed with flavor from the sautéed mushrooms, melted cheese, and grilled onions. Plus, it's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. So next time you're looking for a vegetarian sandwich that's both delicious and satisfying, give this one a try.
