Ingredients
Meat and Vegetables
- 14 oz shaved steak
- ½ green bell pepper, cut into ½ inch strips
- ½ yellow onion, cut into ½ inch slices
- 4 oz sliced mushrooms
Cheese Sauce
- 10 oz Velveeta cheese, cut into 1 inch cubes
- ½ cup Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilies)
Bread
- 4 hoagie rolls
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Slice the green bell pepper into ½ inch strips, cut the yellow onion into ½ inch slices, and slice the mushrooms evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
- Cook the Steak and Vegetables: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the shaved steak until browned and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté the green bell pepper, yellow onion, and mushrooms until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Make the Queso Sauce: In a separate saucepan or skillet over low heat, combine the Velveeta cheese cubes and Rotel. Stir frequently until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Combine Steak and Vegetables with Queso: Add the cooked shaved steak and sautéed vegetables into the queso sauce and stir well to coat everything evenly.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Slice open the hoagie rolls. Spoon the steak, vegetable, and queso mixture generously into each roll. Be careful not to overfill to avoid spillage.
- Grill the Sandwiches: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches on the pan and press gently. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is toasted and golden brown and the filling is warm.
- Serve: Remove from heat, slice if desired, and serve immediately while hot and melty.
Notes
- Use freshly shaved steak for the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust the amount of Rotel depending on your preferred spice level.
- To prevent soggy bread, toast the hoagie rolls lightly before assembling if desired.
- Serve with a side of pickles or simple salad for a balanced meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently to avoid overcooking the steak.
