Recipe of the Week! Steak and Cheese Sandwich

Ah yes.... Why go out to the steakhouse, when you can serve this quick meal at home? The key to the quickness is the fact you're not cooking a solid piece of steak. It's cut into strips. Remember how to make a stir fry? Pretty close to the same idea. Serve with some Baked! Potato Chips and some yummy coleslaw and you have a fast meal that will impress anyone.

Here's the Cooking Light take on a Steak and Cheese Sandwich...

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 cups presliced onion
  • 2 cups green bell pepper strips
  • 2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
  • 1 cup presliced mushrooms
  • 3/4 pound top round steak, trimmed and cut into thin strips
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 (0.6-ounce) slices reduced-fat provolone cheese, cut in half
  • 4 (2 1/2-ounce) hoagie rolls with sesame seeds

Preparation

1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic to pan; sauté 3 minutes. Add mushrooms to pan; sauté 4 minutes. Sprinkle beef with salt and black pepper. Add beef to pan; sauté 3 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally. Stir in Worcestershire sauce; cook 1 minute.

2. Place 1 cheese slice half on bottom half of each roll, and top each serving with one-fourth of beef mixture. Top with remaining cheese slice halves and tops of rolls.
