Ingredients
Method
Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil if you’re using it. Toss in the sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook these veggies for about 5-7 minutes until they get tender and slightly caramelized. Don’t rush it! This step is what makes them delicious.
Step 2: Prepare the Steak Umm
- While the veggies are cooking, it’s time to bring in the big guns—the Steak Umm. Slice open the package and separate the beef slices. You don’t want them frozen together, so pull them apart gently.
Step 3: Add the Beef
- Once the veggies are ready, push them to one side of the pan. Then, lay the Steak Umm slices in the pan and let them cook for about 3-4 minutes per side. Don’t be afraid to break them up if you like smaller pieces. Feel free to sprinkle the garlic powder over the beef for extra flavor.
Step 4: Combine and Melt the Cheese
- After the beef is thoroughly cooked and the veggies are caramelized, mix everything up in the skillet. Now comes the best part: melting cheese over this glorious mixture! You can’t have a Philly cheesesteak without cheese, right? Place your favorite cheese (Provolone, Cheez Whiz, or American are all great options) on top, lower the heat, and cover the skillet to let it melt for a couple of minutes.
Step 5: Assemble the Sandwich
- Grab your favorite hoagie rolls and fill each one with that delicious Steak Umm mixture. Use a spatula to heap the filling high—don’t hold back! If you want to get fancy, hit the broiler for just a minute to crisp up the roll and give the cheese a lovely golden top.
Notes
- Choose Quality Cheese: Don’t skimp on the cheese! Use fresh, quality cheese for the best melt.
- Experiment with Bread: Try various rolls—submarine, hoagie, or even a baguette. It’s all good.
- Don’t Rush the Veggies: Let them get nice and caramelized. It adds depth to your dish.
- Control the Heat: Adjust the temperature while cooking so nothing burns. Nobody likes burnt bits!
- Add More Veggies: Spinach, mushrooms, or jalapeños can amp up both nutrition and flavor.
