Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches - Real Recipes from Mums

Quick lunch or dinner idea that has a kick of heat from the mustard, and is nice and gooey with the cheese sauce

Ingredients (serves 4)

500g Scotch fillet steak
1 1/2 TBS Olive oil
1 large Brown onion, halved and sliced
1 Large Red capsicum, sliced
1 large Green capsicum, sliced
Salt & Pepper
20g Butter
1 TBS Plain flour
1 cup Milk
1/3 cup Coarsely grated mozzarella
1/3 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 - 1 tsp Hot English mustard
1 Baguette, cut into 4, split length ways

Method

Place the steak in the freezer around 20 minutes to half an hour before you need it (This makes it easier to slice thinly).
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan over low heat. Add onion and stir for 8 minutes or until gold-en. Add combined capsicum and cook over medium heat until soft. Season.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat until foaming. Add flour. Stir for 1 minute or until it bubbles. Remove from heat.
Gradually stir in the milk until smooth. Stir over medium heat until it thickens. Stir in the combined cheese. Cool for 2 minutes before adding the Worcestershire sauce and mustard, to taste.
Heat a chargrill on medium-high. Thinly slice the steak and combine in a bowl with the remaining oil. Cook the steak, in 2 batches, turning, for 1 minute or until cooked to your liking.
Lightly toast the inside of the bread and top with the steak, capsicum mixture and cheese sauce.

This sandwich doesn’t have Philly cheese in it, its named after the place the sandwich was invented – Philadelphia. Its basically a steak sandwich with onion & capsicum, and a cheese sauce.

Hmmmm… an interesting idea. I love Philly with my tuna and in my cheesecake. I’ve not explored any other recipes with it yet.

How can this be called a Philly Cheese steak sandwich. Unless I read it wrong, there is no Philly cheese in the ingredients. I prefer Philly in my cheesecakes

I’ve seen constant adds lately for philly cheese steak pizza and still do not want to try this taste. I’ll stick to philly in my cheese cakes.

Looks delicious but I actually thought it would have Philladelphia Cream cheese in it! I’m clearly very wrong,
