1 white onion, thinly sliced
1/2 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Ketchup, optional topping

Directions

A Hit!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Recommend grilling the buns to make them crispy and adding a little mayo, which gave mine a perfect tang!

OUT OF THIS WORLD DELICIOUS!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This sandwich was absolutely wonderful! This receipe was very easy! I agree that the better the cut of steak the better the... sandwich. I chose a lean ribeye, and asked the butcher to slice it for me. I did vary slightly from the recipe...I marinated the steak in a mixture of Dale's Steak Seasoning sauce, worchestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. It was phenomenal!!! Read more

Yummy on the WARM buns....
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Have made this twice using provolone cheese and it is oh so good. I don't understand rating the recipe poorly because it... wasn't mentioned that you should put the buns in the preheated oven to get them WARM. These are a yummy treat and we will be enjoying them again and again. Read more

this recipe needs to be corrected
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

What is the oven for? Did I just miss it? I can't seem to find any reason for preheating the oven in this recipe. I hope... someone re-writes this recipe or at least corrects it.Read more

Fabulous!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

So after making this a few times I've learned not to skimp on the quality of meat - the better the meat the better the... sandwich will be. It's so pleasing to make and tastes so incredible. Throw some salty fries and an ice cold coke on the side and you're in heaven. As far as Emeril not being able to make a cheesesteake like they do in Philly (a poster a couple down)... I would never want a classic Philly cheesesteak! Fatty meat in a bun, then covered with cheese wiz - NO THANK YOU. You're gonna have to put your cheese wiz on something else "chef" Frank. Emeril, you've done it again - Fabulous! Read more
