Ingredients

Cheesesteak

  • 1 ½ pounds shaved ribeye beef
  • 1 tablespoon slap ya mama seasoning
  • 1 ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips
  • 1 small onion, cut into thin strips
  • cup pickled jalapeno slices
  • 12 ounce provolone cheese, about 14 slices

Spread

Grilled Toast

Instructions

Grilled Toast

  • In a small bowl mix together butter, Parmesan, and garlic.
  • Preheat a grill pan to low.
  • Butter each slice of bread on the front and back side with the Parmesan butter.
  • Grill on both sides until golden brown and set aside.

Spread

  • In a separate small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard.
  • Smear the mayonnaise mixture on one side of each slice of grilled cheese bread.

Cheesesteak

  • In a large pan add the bell peppers, onion, and a small amount of cooking oil, or butter, and cook over medium heat until caramelized and tender.
  • Push the veggies to the side and add the meat in a single layer. Sprinkle with slap ya mama and black pepper. Cook over medium high heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Start incorporating the bell peppers and onion into the meat.
  • Add the sliced jalapenos. Stir.
  • Next top with provolone slices and let melt.
  • Once the cheese melts, sharply chop downward with your spatula to break the melted slices of cheese into the meat. Don’t mix. Remove from heat.

Assemble

  • Place meat filling on top of half the prepared slices of grilled toast, and top with remaining slices. Enjoy!

Notes

Tips
  • Thin Steak Strips are Best: Slice your steak very thinly, or shave it if possible, for the most tender, authentic flavor and texture.
  • Slice the Veggies Thinly: Slice your veggies thinly, so they cook evenly and get nice and soft.
  • Don't Overmix: Don’t overmix the meat after adding cheese. Those melty pockets are key.
  • Low and Slow Toasting: Cook the bread over low heat for Texas Toast that's crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and not burned.
