The Gut-Busting Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich

For dinner last night I decided to try a new recipe I found in Men's Fitness Magazine.

It turned out pretty good. The ww buns I used were really small so I had two!

THE GUT-BUSTING PHILLY CHEESE STEAK SANDWICH

This man-size sandwich from Jessie Price, co-author of Eating Well:
Comfort Foods Made Healthy, packs just a fraction of the fat and calories
found in its traditional counterpart.

WHAT YOU NEED

2   tsp extra-virgin
olive oil
1   medium onion,
sliced
8   oz mushrooms,
sliced
1   red or green
bell pepper,
sliced
2   tbsp minced
fresh oregano, or 2 tsp dried
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1   lb sirloin steak, trimmed and
thinly sliced
1/2 tsp salt
1   tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sliced hot banana peppers (optional)
1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
3   oz thinly sliced reduced-fat provolone
cheese
4   whole-wheat buns, split and toasted

TO MAKE [1] Heat oil in a large nonstick
skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions
and stir until brown, 2-3 minutes. Add mushrooms,
bell peppers, oregano, and black
pepper and stir until the vegetables are soft,
about 7 minutes. [2] Add sirloin and salt and
cook, stirring, until the beef is just cooked
through, about 4 minutes. [3] Reduce heat
to low; sprinkle the vegetables and beef
with flour; stir to coat. Stir in banana peppers
(optional) and broth; bring to a simmer.
Remove from the heat, lay cheese slices on
top of the vegetables and beef, cover, and let
stand until melted, 1-2 minutes. [4] Divide
into 4 portions with a spatula, leaving the
melted-cheese layer on top. Scoop a portion
onto each toasted bun and serve immediately.
Serves 4.
