These three places have something in common with their sandwiches, they use great bread. However, if one out of the three restaurants had to take the top spot, I’d have to give it to Tavern on Main. What I love about Tavern’s steak and cheese sandwich is the soft, soggy-ish (in a good way) roll, or as I would call it, a sub. So how do you get a sub to be like this?
My favorite steak and cheese sandwich
Over Mother’s Day weekend, my sister and I went out for dinner at Tavern. Sitting there, eating their steak and cheese, I couldn’t help but think how they got the bread so soft and ‘infused’ with the juices of the sandwich. Pondering, I asked our waitress, who went back into the kitchen, asked the chef, and came back with an answer: aluminum foil and an oven.
This past weekend, I wanted to make the ultimate sandwich using my favorite parts from each restaurant. I was so determined to make this, I completely forgot to make a side. A sweet potato-something would have been great with these!

Loading...Ingredients
- 1/2 green pepper, cut into strips
- 1/2 sweet onion, cut into thick strips
- 4 crimini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbsp butter, divided
- 3/4lb rib eye steak, sliced thin and chopped, seasoned with salt and pepper
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 2 sub rolls (long roll, also referred to as a 'grinder' or 'hoagie')
- 2 pieces of aluminum foil
Instructions
Heat 1 tbsp of butter on a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add green peppers, sweet onion, and mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes or until the onions start to turn translucent and the mushrooms are cooked down.
Remove the veggies from the skillet to a plate.
Add remaining butter to the skillet and turn down the heat to medium.
Move steak to the skillet and cook until done - about 3-5 minutes.
Add veggies back to the skillet, mix them around, and split the filling into two different sides (one for each sub). Place 2 slices of cheese across each filling, and cover your skillet for about 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
Once the cheese melts, move each filling to a sub.
Tightly roll the sub up into a piece of aluminum foil.
Move the subs to the oven for about 15-20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let sit for a few minutes before opening up the aluminum foil.
Open them up and chow down!
Fatima has a great steak and cheese, too!
