Ingredients

2 to 2 1/2 pound strip loin, trimmed
Olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Soft hoagie rolls, split 3/4 open
Provolone Sauce, recipe follows
Sauteed Mushrooms, recipe follows
Caramelized Onions, recipe follows
Sauteed Peppers, recipe follows

Directions

Place steak in freezer for 30 to 45 minutes; this makes it easier to slice the meat. Remove the meat from the freezer and slice very thinly.

Heat griddle or grill pan over high heat. Brush steak slices with oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 45 to 60 seconds per side.

Place several slices of the meat on the bottom half of the roll, spoon some of the cheese sauce over the meat, and top with the mushrooms, onions, and peppers.

Provolone Sauce:

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

2 cups whole milk, heated

1 cup grated aged provolone cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the warm milk, and cook, whisking constantly until thickened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat and whisk in the provolone and Parmesan until combined; season with the salt and pepper.

Sauteed Mushrooms:

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 1/2 pounds mushrooms (cremini and shiitake), coarsely chopped

3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Heat oil and butter in a large saute pan over high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are golden brown. Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper.

Caramelized Onions:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 tablespoons canola oil

3 large Spanish onions, peeled, halved and thinly sliced

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Heat butter and oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook slowly until golden brown and caramelized, stirring occasionally, approximately 30 to 40 minutes.

Sauteed Peppers:

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 poblano peppers, thinly sliced

2 Cubano peppers, thinly sliced

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Heat the oil in medium saute pan over high heat. Add the peppers and cook until soft. Season with salt and pepper.

Not worth it
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

After spending to much money and 40 days and 40 nights trying to get the cheese to not be grainy, I ended up sending my wife... to the store to get cheese whiz.Read more

Bland, EXPENSIVE
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I couldn't wait to make this recipe. Went to local butcher shop, picked up 2 pounds of my thinly sliced steak($35), came home... started up the veggies and got cooking. But to my disappointment it was rather boring.....Was not that great at all. The one thing that kinda makes me feel better about it is that my brother in-law went to Philly and said there cheese steaks weren't that great. Didn't see what the fuss was all about. Maybe i didn't add enough pepper, didn't throw in my own seasonings, I don't know. Just way too expensive when i can go to a local restaurant and get something that tastes better for way cheaper.

The sauce makes it
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The sauce on this was amazing, and very simple. We took brisket that we had grilled a few days ago, and cut into strips.... Tossed onions and green peppers in olive oil and steak seasoning and carmelized on a griddle. Toasted the buns, and then topped with the sauce. The sauce is what makes it!!! Read more
