Description

This steak sandwich recipe will rival that of any takeout sub shop in SE Massachusetts. This makes one sandwich, but it's easy to double or triple.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter, divided
1/4 medium onion, sliced
4 large fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/4 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
1/3 French baguette, cut in half lengthwise

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 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.
3 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.
4 Turn off the heat; place cheese on top of steak and vegetable mixture so it can melt.
5 Scoop mixture into sliced baguette; pour some of the juices on top.
