Cheese Steak Subs

 

Cheese Steak Subs

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound beef round steak, flank or sirloin, cut into thin strips
1 pkg fresh button mushrooms, sliced
2 green bell peppers, cut into 1/4 inch strips
2 onions, sliced into rings
salt and pepper to taste
4 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise and toasted
1 (8 ounce) package sliced provolone cheese
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Lettuce and tomatoes

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. **Sauté beef until lightly browned. Stir in mushrooms, green pepper, onion, and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until vegetables are tender and remove from heat.

3. Spread each bun generously with garlic mayonnaise*. Divide beef mixture into the buns. Top with cheese, and sprinkle with salt, pepper and oregano. Place sandwiches on a baking pan.

4. Heat sandwiches in preheated oven, until cheese is melted or slightly browned. 

5. Add lettuce and tomato. Serve while still warm!

Sometimes I drizzle a little Italian Dressing over the lettuce and tomato. (This is the sub shop's secret trick to give their subs a little extra kick.)

*Garlic mayonnaise
 
1 cup Mayo
2 cloves Garlic, ground into a paste with a little salt and the edge of a chef knife
1 teaspoon lemon juice
 
Combine in small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
 
**Note** If I know that the cut of beef will be tuff... a lot of times, I will cook the veggies while grilling the steak. After the steak has rested, I cut it into strips and then process it for a few seconds.

Italian Sausage, Onion and Mushroom Baked Subs with Provolone Cheese

My step-daughter, her husband and son, Jack came over yesterday. It was the first time we had been able to get together for Christmas! I fixed the Italian Sausage, Onion and Mushroom Baked Subs with Provolone Cheese. It's in the pictures, but I didn't use peppers this time, because we don't like the peppers on ours. You can of course use whatever you want! :-)

It's hard to get a clear picture of that little face on the move! :-)

Italian Sausage, Onion and Mushroom Baked Subs

 with Provolone Cheese

Italian Sausage

Onion, sliced

Bell Pepper, sliced (optional)

Mushrooms, sliced

Provolone Cheese, sliced

Soy Sauce

Butter

Parmesan Cheese

Garlic powder

Basil

Salt and Pepper

Squeeze the brats out of their casings and brown.

Remove sausage. Leaving the drippin's.

 Melt about a tablespoon or two of butter.
Add a few shakes of soy sauce, about one or two tablespoons.
Add the onions, peppers and mushrooms.

Cook until a little color appears and the vegetables have softened.

Return the sausage to the pan.

Mix about a 1/2 cup of softened butter with

1/4 cup of Parmesan Cheese. Add seasonings to taste...

I scoop the inside of the bread out to give the filling a place to sit.
(Makes them easier to eat, also... and I'm all for that!)

Spread some of the butter mixture on the top and bottom pieces.

Load it up!

Oooops! I almost forgot the cheese... Provolone Cheese!

Wrap them up and stick them in a 350 degree oven for about

10 or 15 minutes, until warmed through and the cheese is melted!

Hot and fresh out of the oven!

OooooLaaaaLaaaa!!!

A good day had by all! :-)
