Portobello "Philly Cheese Steak" Sandwich
From Eatingwell.com
Cheese steaks are a Philadelphia tradition: thin slices from a rich and very fatty slab of beef, fried up and topped with a heavy cheese sauce. We’ve cut down on the fat considerably - but not on the taste. All it needs is a cold beer or a glass of pinot noir on the side. Make this vegetarian by using vegetable broth in place of chicken stock.
Makes 4 sandwiches
ACTIVE TIME: 25 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 25 minutes
EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced
4 large portobello mushrooms, stems and gills removed (see Tip), sliced
1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons minced fresh oregano or 2 teaspoons dried
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 cup vegetable broth or reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 ounces thinly sliced reduced-fat provolone cheese
4 whole-wheat buns, split and toasted
1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until soft and beginning to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, bell pepper, oregano and pepper and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are wilted and soft, about 7 minutes.
2. Reduce heat to low; sprinkle the vegetables with flour and stir to coat. Stir in broth and soy sauce; bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat, lay cheese slices on top of the vegetables, cover and let stand until melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Divide the mixture into 4 portions with a spatula, leaving the melted cheese layer on top. Scoop a portion onto each toasted bun and serve immediately.

Wow that looks yummy! TY for posting a vegetarian recipe. I am bookmarking this for later. :bigsmile:0

After making it, I can't help but feel that the only way you could really improve on this recipe would be a tiny splash of cooking wine. Its awesome! Also, unless they used really small portabellas in the recipe, there is NO WAY this is just 4 servings. It makes a LOT of sandwich filling. So far we've made about 6 sandwiches (4 crusty whole wheat rolls from wegmans, and 2 Pandesol Filipino rolls), and I still have a small bowl of mushroom stuff left.0

So I tried this on Tuesday night for dinner. It takes just like a Philly except the meat. Since I absolutely love mushrooms and eat mushroom pizza. It was very, very delicious. I cannot wait to try it again.0

I made this tonight and it was delicious. I substituted green peppers instead of red peppers though (cooked red peppers kinda gross me out).
