This Cheese Steak Sandwich is stuffed with thin slices of ribeye beef, caramelized onions and slices of green pepper topped with provolone cheese! Enhance the flavor with Mezzetta jalapeño peppers and Peperoncinis!
Cheese Steak Sandwich
I wanted to call this sandwich a Philly Cheesesteak, but I’ve never tried an authentic cheesesteak or ever been to Pennsylvania.
Unlike other parts of the world where I so bravely dive into creating regional recipes, I’m a little scared of messing with the Philadelphians!
haha – not really.
Well…kinda.
My sandwich is a pretty darn good knock off, except that I read that the history behind an original-original cheese steak calls for Cheese Wiz.
Cheddar-like cheese and NOT food in my opinion, so we’re not using it in my Cheese Steak!
Steak Sandwich With Provolone Cheese!
I do add the same caramelized onions that really make this sandwich delicious, and the cheese of choice is gooey melted provolone!
The other difference with my cheese steak sandwich is that I grilled the meat and served appetizer sized sandwiches.
I also put a good amount of Mezzetta Deli-Sliced Jalapeno Peppers and whole Peperoncinis on the platter to use as a condiment.
The extra peppers really added a nice bold punch of flavor!
Sitting around the fire pit the platter and napkins were passed around, and one by one the sandwiches disappeared!
Low Carb Version
You can also serve this dish without the bun using green pepper in place of the bread for a low-carb cheese steak version!
For this style you’ll need to use a knife and fork, and don’t forget to add the extra peppers! You’ll love the extra punch of flavor!
