Difficulty: Easy
Cheese Steaks
sautee tri-color peppers in evoo for a few minutes
add sliced onions & continue to cook until translucent & yummy
remove veggies from pan & sit aside
cook 3 servings of sirloin beef steak in the skilletadd any of the following to beef up the flavor:
- Worchestshire sauce
- steak sauce
- hamburger seasoning
- salt/pepper
- garlic powder
When the meat is cooked, add the veggies back to the pan.
Build sandwiches with meat/veggie filling & provolone cheese, preferrably on bread/rolls that have been lightly toasted on a stove-top grill.
You can also toss open-faced sandwiches into an oven with only the top burner on to make the cheese all bubbly & delish.
Serve with:
- Side Salad
- carrot & celery sticks, sliced cucumbers
- individual bags of chips
The prepackaged beef steaks have quite a bit of sat fat. I always cook the meat and remove as much of the fat as possible - either by draining, rinsing with hot water and/or patting with paper towels. I use 3 servings of meat to make 4 sandwiches. The more veggies: onions/peppers, the less meat needed to fill a sandwich.
I can only get full-fat provolone. Maybe you can find reduced-fat and save a few calories.
I also make my Philly Cheese Steaks with worthless white bread steak rolls or a French baguette. If you are looking for a healthier alternative, I'm sure you can find a higher fiber roll (especially if you are in the States).
The more veggies in the sandwich & the bigger the side salad, the healthier the meal. 3 cups total of sauteed onion/peppers, salad and raw veggies equals the 5-a-day requirement.
If you stick with individually packaged chips & limit yourself to one bag, this meal is not that bad calorie wise.
Careful with the meat, cheese, chips & salad dressing. Especially if you aren't planning on a food porn night.
Leftover potential: Any leftover meat/veggie mixture can be used for omlettes, quesadillas, fajitas, stirfry or frozen & tossed into soups later.
