Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil divided, 30 mL
  • 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 medium white onion thinly sliced
  • 4 king oyster mushrooms
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce 15 mL
  • 1 tsp vegan Worcestershire sauce 5 mL
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 2 to 3 slices provolone or American cheese*
  • 2 to 3 soft subs or hoagie rolls

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pepper and Onions: Heat 1 Tbsp of oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add pepper and onion, cooking until soft and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Mushrooms. Meanwhile, shred mushrooms with forks into rough strips. Remove pepper and onions from pan. Heat remaining oil then add mushrooms, soy, Worcestershire, and seasonings. Cook over medium/high heat until mushrooms are soft and moisture has all cooked out, about 10 minutes.
  3. Cheese It: Add pepper and onions back into the pan, mixing into the mushrooms. Shape into 2 or 3 mounds then top each with cheese. Cover and cook until cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to rolls or buns and serve warm.

Notes

  • *You can make this mushroom cheesesteak vegan by substituting the cheese for vegan cheese (omit the jalapeno if you're making it for this cheesesteak).
  • Storage: Any leftovers can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
