Portobello " Philly Cheese Steak " Sandwich

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 medium onion, sliced

4 large portobello mushrooms, stems and gills removed (see Tip), sliced

1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons minced fresh oregano or 2 teaspoons dried

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1/4 cup vegetable broth or reduced-sodium chicken broth

1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce

3 ounces thinly sliced reduced-fat provolone cheese

4 whole-wheat buns, split and toasted

 

 

 

 

 

1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add

onion and cook, stirring often, until soft and beginning to brown, 2

to 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, bell pepper, oregano and pepper and cook,

stirring often, until the vegetables are wilted and soft, about 7

minutes.

2. Reduce heat to low; sprinkle the vegetables with flour and stir to

coat. Stir in broth and soy sauce; bring to a simmer. Remove from the

heat, lay cheese slices on top of the vegetables, cover and let stand

until melted, 1 to 2 minutes.

3. Divide the mixture into 4 portions with a spatula, leaving the

melted cheese layer on top. Scoop a portion onto each toasted bun and

serve immediately.

CooksNote: The dark gills found on the underside of a portobello are

edible, but if you like you can scrape them off with a spoon.

 

Cheese steaks are a Philadelphia tradition: thin slices from a rich

and very fatty slab of beef, fried up and topped with a heavy cheese

sauce. We've cut down on the fat considerably—but not on the taste.

All it needs is a cold beer or a glass of pinot noir on the side. Make

this vegetarian by using vegetable broth in place of chicken stock.
