Try-Day-Friday: Philly Cheesesteaks

I love a great warm sandwich and was interested in making one for our Friday meal this past week. I settled on a cheesesteak recipe! It was a good recipe and I just had to change a few things. We did a sirloin thin sliced steak because it was better for our budget than ribeye like she suggested. It was a little tougher meat and I'm still learning about how to cook steak right but it still did the trick for us. We also wanted some type of condiment on it so we made a sriracha mayo that gave it more flavor.

I found this through Pinterest on thelittlekitchen.net

CHEESESTEAKS
YIELD: 4 SANDWICHES PREP TIME: 35 MIN COOK TIME: 50 MIN TOTAL TIME: 1 HR 25 MIN
Use two ribeye steaks for this recipe and you can’t go wrong.

INGREDIENTS:

4 hoagie rolls, sliced (We love the Publix hoagie rolls!)
1/2 green pepper, sliced
1 large white onion, cut in half and sliced thick
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
1.25-1.5 lbs beef ribeye steaks (sliced thinly across the grain and then chopped roughly again so they are small pieces)
salt & pepper
3 1/2 Tbsp salted butter
8 slices of cheese (Provolone or Muenster)

DIRECTIONS:

Prepare 4 sheets of foil and slice the hoagie rolls and set aside. Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
Heat a non-stick skillet with 1 Tbsp butter on medium high heat. Add mushrooms and half of the onions and cook 5-8 minutes or until mushrooms are browned and onions are cooked down. Remove and place on a plate.
Wipe the skillet with a paper towel and add 1/2 Tbsp of butter and return to the stove. Cook remaining onions and bell peppers for 5-8 minutes or until peppers start to brown and blister and the onions are cooked down. Add to a separate plate (unless everyone likes peppers/onions/mushrooms then add to the plate with mushrooms & onions).
Wipe the skillet again with a paper towel and add 1 Tbsp butter and return to stove again. Season half of the steak with salt & pepper and add to the skillet. Reduce to medium heat and cook for 2-4 minutes. Add in peppers & onions or half of the veggie mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes. Divide the meat & veggies in half as pictured above. Add 4 slices of cheese on top and allow the cheese to melt for 1-2 minutes.
Add the cooked meat & veggies and melted cheese to two hoagie rolls. Inside one sheet of foil, roll the hoagie roll tightly and place inside the oven for 10-15 minutes.
Repeat the process with the remaining steak & veggies or like I did with the mushrooms and onions – for the last two hoagie rolls. Serve fresh out of the oven with chips or your favorite French fries.
Notes: If you have leftovers (if that’s possible), refrigerate inside a zippered plastic bag inside (don’t remove it from the foil). Reheat the cheesesteaks in the foil in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes.
