Description

This steak and cheese sandwich combines juicy steak, sautéed peppers and mushrooms, melty cheese, and a soft, oven-steamed sub roll inspired by my favorite restaurant versions.


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

  1. Heat 1 tbsp of butter on a skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. 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.
  3. Remove the veggies from the skillet to a plate.
  4. Add remaining butter to the skillet and turn down the heat to medium.
  5. Move steak to the skillet and cook until done – about 3-5 minutes.
  6. 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.
  7. Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
  8. Once the cheese melts, move each filling to a sub.
  9. Tightly roll the sub up into a piece of aluminum foil.
  10. Move the subs to the oven for about 15-20 minutes.
  11. Remove from the oven and let sit for a few minutes before opening up the aluminum foil.
  12. Open them up and chow down!
