This steak sandwich recipe is as good as the takeout sub shops of Southeastern Massachusetts! I think this is about as close as you can get at home. Freezing the steak the day before makes it easy to cut into very thin slices.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter, divided
¼ medium onion, sliced
4 large fresh mushrooms, sliced
¼ green bell pepper, sliced into long strips
1 (1/2 pound) well-marbled beef steak of any type, sliced as thinly as possible
3 tablespoons chopped pickled hot peppers
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
salt and pepper to taste
2 slices sharp Cheddar cheese
⅓ French baguette, cut in half lengthwise
Step by step
Gather all ingredients.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until just tender, about 2 minutes. Push onion to sides of the pan; add mushrooms and cook until softened. Stir in bell pepper and cook just until tender, about 3 minutes. Remove vegetables from the pan with a slotted spoon; set aside.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the same skillet. Add steak and pickled hot peppers; season with hot pepper sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until steak is mostly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add vegetable mixture back into the pan; stir until heated through.
Turn off the heat; place cheese on top of steak and vegetable mixture so it can melt.
Scoop mixture into sliced baguette; pour some of the juices on top.
