Gary's Quick Steak Philly Cheesesteak Recipe - Delicious Meal Ideas

You’ve just whipped up a wonderful batch of Gary's Quick Steak Philly Cheesesteak. Now, what do you serve with it? Let’s explore some mouthwatering pairings that ensure your meal experience is not just good but unforgettable.
First, consider a crisp side salad. A simple garden salad with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers tossed in a light vinaigrette complements the richness of your cheesesteak without overshadowing it. It offers a refreshing crunch that serves as a delightful counterpoint.
Next, how about some crispy sweet potato fries? Bake them to a golden crisp, drizzling them lightly with olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt. Their slightly sweet flavor contrasts beautifully with the savory, cheesy flavors of the steak.For the beverage, a chilled glass of lemonade or iced tea balances the meal. The acidity of lemonade clears the palate, while iced tea, especially infused with mint, adds an element of refreshment.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package of Gary's QuickSteak Beef 12 oz
  • 1 packet Wow! Seasoning Mix
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup sliced Mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup julienned Green Bell Peppers
  • 1 cup thinly sliced White or Yellow Onions
  • 8 slices 8-12 of your choice of Cheese yellow or white
  • 2-4 Hoagie Rolls

Method
 

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
  1. I always start by prepping everything before cooking. It creates a smooth cooking experience. Slice the bell peppers and onions, and measure out the mushrooms and cheese. Having everything ready will help you move quickly once you start cooking.
Step 2: Heat Your Pan
  1. Grab a large skillet and pour in that tablespoon of olive oil. Heat it over medium-high heat until it shimmers. The high temperature ensures a nice sear on your veggies and beef. You want that sizzle when you add your ingredients.
Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables
  1. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers first into the hot oil. Give them a stir and let them cook for about 3 minutes until they soften.
    Next, throw in the mushrooms. Sauté everything together for another 2-3 minutes. The goal is to enhance the flavors and turn the veggies into sweet morsels that meld into your cheesesteak.
Step 4: Add the Beef
  1. Once your vegetables are looking good, it's time to add the star of the show—Gary's QuickSteak beef. Sprinkle the Wow! Seasoning mix over the top and toss everything together. You want to distribute that seasoning evenly.
    Cook the beef until it’s browned and heated through, about 4-5 minutes. The sizzling sound will alert you that magic is happening.
Step 5: Melt the Cheese
  1. When your beef is ready, layer the cheese slices over the beef and veggie mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid. This helps the cheese to melt beautifully. Leave it on the heat for about 2-3 minutes, checking occasionally.
Step 6: Prepare the Rolls
  1. While the cheese melts, split your hoagie rolls down the middle. Consider toasting them lightly in another pan or under the broiler for an added crunch.
Step 7: Assemble Your Cheesesteaks
  1. With the cheese wonderfully gooey, it’s time to load up your rolls. Scoop generous portions of the cheesy steak and veggies into each roll. Don’t hold back—make it deliciously overflowing!
Step 8: Serve and Enjoy
  1. Your cheesesteaks are ready! Enjoy them while piping hot, perhaps with those sweet potato fries or a refreshing salad on the side.
