EASY STEAK SANDWICH



Easy Steak Sandwich image

I tried for years to make a cheese steak as good as the takeout sub shops of southeastern Massachusetts. I think this is about as close as you can come at home. Freezing the steak the day before makes it easy to cut into very thin slices.

Provided by zigmondo

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Sandwich Recipes     Beef

Time 25m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter
¼ medium onion, sliced
4 large fresh mushrooms, sliced
¼ green bell pepper, sliced into long strips
1 (1/2 pound) well-marbled beef steak of any type, sliced as thinly as possible
3 tablespoons chopped pickled hot peppers
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
2 slices sharp Cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
⅓ French baguette, cut in half lengthwise

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion; cook and stir until tender. Push onion to the side of the pan, and add the mushrooms. Cook and stir until softened, then add the bell pepper and cook just until tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon, and set aside.
  • Add the remaining butter to the skillet. No need to clean the pan, just let it heat up a little bit. Place the steak in the skillet along with the pickled peppers. Season with salt and pepper. The steak cooks really fast, just a couple of minutes. Once the steak is mostly browned, return the onion and pepper to the pan. Cook until heated through.
  • Turn off the heat, and place the slices of cheese over the top of the pile so they can melt. Scoop the whole pile into the awaiting bread, making sure to pour some of the juices onto that wonderful sandwich.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality steak. A flank steak or skirt steak are good choices.
  • Make sure the steak is thinly sliced against the grain. This will make it more tender.
  • To get a good sear on the steak, make sure your pan is hot before adding the meat. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the steak will steam instead of sear.
  • Don't overcook the steak. It should be cooked to medium-rare or medium for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a good quality Italian bread for the sandwich. A hoagie roll or sub roll are both good choices.
  • Be generous with the toppings. The more toppings, the better the sandwich.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately after it is made. This will prevent the bread from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

The Wimpy's Italian Steak Sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With its tender steak, flavorful toppings, and soft bread, this sandwich is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a satisfying and delicious meal, give this sandwich a try.
