Three Cheese-Cheese steak Sandwiches

Ok, these were really really good. I will post them how I did it (vs how they say to do it).

HOWEVER, without a doubt, next time I do this, I will figure out how to cut the steak thinner than just using my knife. That was still way way to thick...I am thinking maybe the slicer I use for vegetables? I don't know. Or, one post said you could have your grocer shave it thin...which is an idea too. Since the steak isn't precooked, I don't know if OUR grocer will do this but it would be worth an ask I guess.

Ingredients

• 3/4-1 pound frozen sirloin steak, partially thawed (or freeze fresh sirloin for 45 minutes) so it is easy to cut
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 3/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
• 1/2-1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2-1 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more if needed
• 1 large or 2 small yellow onions, sliced with the grain
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips (lucky me I didn't have one of these which made Eric happy but I would suggest putting it in, yum)
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 3 tablespoons cream cheese
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (I would say maybe do 1 or a little over 1)
• 2-3 slices American cheese
• 4 hoagie rolls-Ok they must have HUGE rolls. This easily made 6 HUGE sandwiches.
• shredded mozzarella cheese, or slices of provolone (I used mozzarella...it was waiting for me in my freezer)

Directions

Slice the partially frozen meat into very thin slices. Mix together the chili powder, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Toss the meat slices in the mixture to coat. THEN LET SIT.

Heat the oil in heavy saute pan (such as cast iron) over medium heat. Cook the onions and peppers until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until all the vegetables are soft and golden, about 5 minutes longer.

Preheat the broiler to high.

Remove the vegetables to a plate and add a splash more oil to the pan. Raise the heat to medium-high. Cook the meat quickly in the hot pan, browning on both sides. Once brown, reduce the heat to low and mix together the vegetables and beef. (I did not do this. I keep the veggies and meat separate because I was not sure Hailey would love the veggies so she got an all meat sandwich...I just added the veggies on to the sandwiches Eric and I ate) Add the cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce and American cheese, and stir until creamy and well incorporated. Split open the hoagie rolls and place on a baking sheet. Divide the beef mixture among the rolls and top with the mozzarella cheese. Broil until the cheese begins to bubble, 1 to 2 minutes. Watch carefully for burning. Serve.
