    Why You'll Love This Steak Sandwich

    The Steak & Cheese: Thinly sliced sirloin gets beautifully caramelized, perfectly balanced by the melty provolone.

    Veggie Delight: The colorful mix of peppers, onions, and mushrooms adds a delightful sweetness and crunch, complementing the richness of the steak and cheese.

    Bun Bliss: Ciabatta rolls take this sandwich to the next level! Their slightly chewy texture and subtle tang provide the perfect platform for all the delicious fillings.

    Customizable: Feel free to add your favorite toppings, such as hot sauce, ketchup, or a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.

    Ingredients

    2 Tbsp. olive oil
    1 thinly sliced large sweet onion (about 2 cups)
    ½ red bell pepper, cut into small pieces
    ½ green been pepper, cut into small pieces
    ½ cup sliced mushrooms (small package cooks down to this)
    1 lb sirloin steak, thinly sliced
    ¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
    ground black pepper
    4 slices provolone cheese (we are a cheese loving family!)
    8 dinner rolls (I found dinner roll-sized ciabatta rolls - yum)

    Steak Prep Tip

    Freeze for about an hour and it is much easier to slice thinly.

    Instructions


    Step 1
    Heat 2 tablespoon oil in a large skillet (medium high). Saute onions until light brown, soft, and smelling really good! Stay by the pan since they can overcook quickly! It will take about 5-6 minutes. Remove from pan. Cook mushrooms in the same pan on medium heat until they are cooked (they get smaller and are in liquid). Cook peppers last.
    I have picky eaters in my family so I cook these veggies separately (but in the same pan).  Remove all veggies from pan and display on a plate for serving.

    Step 2
    Slice steak from the freezer into thin strips. Slice against the grain so it's more tender. Lightly salt and pepper it. If needed, add just a little more oil to your pan. Cook steak slices. Allow space between slices so your meat browns. If the pan is too crowded, it gets too full of watery liquid. It will take approximately 2 minutes or so to cook through on each side. You should have a nice browned look.

    Step 3
    I placed ½ slice of provolone cheese on each roll, topped with two or three steak pieces, and then the veggies.

    As an fyi, this recipe is popular with teens!  It's quick, easy to eat, filling and flavorful.  This Philly Cheesesteak recipe will definitely be part of my family's regular meal rotation.

    FAQs

    My family eats a lot of chicken. Can I use chicken instead?

    Yes! This recipe is made to be adapted. Grilled chicken would be delicious on this sandwich!

    Can I grill the steak and not panfry it?

    Absolutely! Grill it first then slice into thin slices.

    Storage

    Can be refrigerated up to 4 days. I'd recommend keeping the components of this Cheesesteak steak sandwich seperate and assembling as needed.

    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced roughly 2 cups
    • ½ large green pepper, cut into strips
    • 1 8oz mushrooms, sliced
    • 1 lb sirloin steak, thinly sliced
    • salt and pepper, optional and to taste
    • 4 ciabatta rolls, dinner roll size

    Instructions

    • If time permits, place the steak in the freezer for 20 minutes so it's easier to cut into thin strips.
    • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet set at medium high. Saute onions until light brown, soft, and smelling really good! It will take about 5-6 minutes. Remove from pan.
      Cook mushrooms in the same pan on medium heat until they are cooked (they get smaller and are in liquid). Cook peppers last, leaving them slightly crisp.
    • Slice the steak you have had in the freezer into thin strips. Slice against the grain so it's more tender. Lightly salt and pepper it. If needed, add just a little more oil to your pan. Cook steak slices. Allow space between slices so your meat browns. It will take approximately 2 minutes or so to cook through on each side. The slices should be nicely browned on the outside but still moist (a touch of pink) on the inside.
    • I placed ½ slice of provolone cheese on each roll, topped with two or three steak slices, and then the veggies.

    Notes

    Can the steak be grilled?
    Yes, grill the whole steak and then cut into thin slices. If you prefer your steak more rare, this would be how to cook it.
    Can we substitute Chicken?
    This recipe is a guide and you can substitute or add anything you and your family would enjoy.

      This recipe looks great. We don't have Giant foods here in Pgh but they do in York where my husband is from so I'll have to mention this to their families, and hey I guess there is no harm in me checking out their recipes. Thanks
