Ingredients
- 12 ounces flank steak sliced across grain into thin strips.
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (3 ounces)
- 1 medium onion sliced thin
- 1 bell pepper sliced thin
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon low-sodium sauce
Cheese sauce
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 2 teaspoons flour
- 1/2 cup milk 2 %
- 1 ounce Provolone cheese grated
- 2 tablespoons grated parmigiano-reggiano
- 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
- 4 Hoagie rolls toasted
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over a medium high heat. Sprinkle beef with salt. Add 1 1/2 teaspoon oil, swirl to coat pan. Add beef and sauté 2 minutes or until it loses its pink color. Remove beef from pan.
- Add remaining oil. Add onion, sauté 3 minutes, then add mushrooms, bell pepper and garlic; sauté 6 minutes or until veggies are tender. Return beef to pan, stirring for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in Worcestershire and soy sauce
Cheese Sauce
- Place butter in a small saucepan over a medium low heat. When melted, add flour and stir about 2 minutes. Gradually add milk, stirring with a whisk until blended. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook 1 minute or until slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat. Add in cheeses and mustard, stirring until smooth. Keep warm. It will thicken as it cools.
Assembling the cheesesteaks
- Hollow out top and bottom halves of rolls. Divide beef mixture evenly. Drizzle sauce over beef and replace top halves.
Notes
- To reduce the carbs, omit bun. Doing so will eliminate 120 calories and 22 grams of carbohydrates per sandwich.
- Hollow out the rolls to reduce carbs.
- Substitute low carb rolls.
- Many grocery stores sell very thin sliced beef in their meat section. No need to chill and cut at home.
- While green bell peppers are traditional, any color bell pepper will work!
