I needed to make Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches for a crowd and didn’t want to be a short order cook ALL night. So this version came to mind using ground beef and a sheet pan.
LOOSEMEAT PHILLY CHEESESTEAKS ~ serves 6, but easily doubles or triples adapted from FACEBOOK
1 1/2 pounds QUALITY ground beef
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 teaspoons Montreal hamburger seasoning
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons avocado oil
8 ounces white button mushrooms, sliced
3 LARGE bell peppers (green, red, or yellow), sliced *SEE NOTES
1 cup diced onion
8 ounces sliced or shredded Provolone cheese
FRESH ground sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Sandwich rolls
butter and garlic salt for rolls
Mayonnaise for rolls
Creamed Horseradish, to taste
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- In a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise and creamed horseradish with a little salt to taste. Set aside for dressing rolls before serving.
- Spray a deep jelly roll sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray or line with foil.
- In a large skillet, cook the beef over medium-high heat until browned. Drain.
- Add the cream cheese, steak seasoning and Worcestershire sauce, cooking over medium heat or until cream cheese is melted and combined. Add a little milk or cream if you want the sauce thinner.
- Add FRESH ground salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread beef mixture on sheet pan.
- Wipe out skillet, or use a second pan while the beef is cooking and heat oil over medium high heat.
- Add the mushrooms, bell peppers, and onion cooking until veggies are soft.
- Season to taste with FRESH ground sea salt and black pepper.
- Spread veggies on top of beef mixture.
- Top veggies mixture with Provolone cheese and bake in the oven for about 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
- Serve immediately on sliced grilled rolls that have been buttered and toasted with prepared mayonnaise.
NOTES:
- I omit green bell peppers because I just can’t tolerate them and really prefer the sweetness that a red bell pepper adds to the mix.
- Adding a little salt and creamed horseradish to the mayonnaise for the bread really OOMPHS up the flavor, but can easily be omitted.
