Cheesesteak Sandwich


I had a smallish left over New York strip steak from the Memorial Day cookout on Monday.  I tried to think of an original way to incorporate this delicious tender leftover meat into a really unique dish but, my mind kept going back to a cheesesteak sandwich. The though of the melted cheese set atop the steak with sauteed onions and a few jalapenos for good measure could not be erased from my head. So, finally I succumbed to the cheesesteak dream. 

I sliced the New York strip steak into very thin slices while I sauteed 1/2 of a thinly sliced onion and sweet yellow bell pepper.  A little drizzle of Worcestershire sauce and onto the roll it went.  Topped with a cheddar/monterey jack combo and a few pickled jalapenos, I slid the sandwich into the oven just long enough to heat through, melt the cheese and toast the kaiser the roll.  A perfect meal when served with french fries....of course!

  1. Sounds delicious. I have the same dilemma when cooking for myself. It's easy to make an easy satisfying "sandwich" than create something more healthy that would take longer. The other day I used my leftover home made barbecue sauce to make two cheddar cheese smoked sausage rolls.Life is short.
