Mini Philly Cheesesteaks

Servings:

Miniaturized sandwiches don't usually float my boat, as they're almost always not as good as the full-sized versions. But this mini Philly cheesesteak recipe captures everything I love about the classic.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line baking sheets with aluminum foil.
  2. 2 Make sauce: Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk flour into hot butter and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is pale and flour taste cooks off, about 1 minute. Whisk milk into flour mixture until mixture is hot and thickened, 3 to 6 minutes. Add provolone cheese, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, and salt; stir until cheese is completely melted. Set aside.
  3. 3 Make mini cheesesteaks: Season steak with salt and black pepper.
  4. 4 Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak in hot oil, turning occasionally, until meat is slightly firm and pink on the inside, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer meat to a plate.
  5. 5 Return the skillet to heat and pour in water; bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Pour liquid from the skillet over steak. Cool steak to room temperature; dice meat and place meat and accumulated juices from the plate into a large bowl.
  6. 6 Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; sauté onion and peppers in hot oil until softened and slightly translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir onion and peppers into beef in the bowl; season with salt and pepper.
  7. 7 Spread bread slices out on the prepared baking sheets and drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Flip slices over so the oiled sides face downward. Spread cheese sauce generously onto each slice. Spoon beef mixture on top. Sprinkle with provolone cheese.
  8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven until browned and cheese is melted, 12 to 15 minutes.
