Weeknight Cheese Steak Sandwiches
Crazy delicious cheese steak sandwiches that take no effort whatsoever & are done super fast!
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs flank steak, sliced thin & against the grain
- 1 small yellow onion, sliced into thin strips
- 6 cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 8 sweet mini peppers, deseeded & sliced
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar
- 3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack
- 3/4 cup mozzarella
- 1.5 tbsp steak seasoning, divided
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, room temperature for easy spreading
- 5 Bolillo rolls can use hoagie or french rolls
- 4 tbsp olive oil, divided
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat two tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the flank steak & one tablespoon of seasoning & cook (stirring occasionally) until no longer pink. Remove from heat.
- In a cast iron skillet on a different burner, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions & mushrooms. Cook until caramelized & nicely browned all over, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the mini peppers to the onion mixture & stir & cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- While the veggies are finishing up, slice the steak into little bite sized pieces. Add the steak bites & any remaining oil/seasoning from the skillet they cooked in to the cast iron skillet with the veggies. Stir everything together & let rest while you prepare the bread.
- Slice the rolls in half length-wise. Use your fingers to tear out the centers of the bread slices to make a canal in each half. (Reserve the removed bread for a different use.) Lay them in a single layer on a baking sheet that's been lined with foil for easy clean up.
- Spread each slice of bread with a little bit of cream cheese. Sprinkle the top of each bread half with the remaining steak seasoning.
- Fill each bread half with the steak / veggie combo.
- Mix the shredded cheeses together & use it to top each sandwich with about 3 tablespoons or so (or more, to your desired liking).
- Broil about 4 inches from heat for 3-4 minutes, or until cheese is melted & tops are just beginning to brown. Voila!
