Dog-Gone Cheesesteaks

Cheesesteak sandwiches are usually pretty darn big; more than I can eat, and not great as reheated leftovers. So I thought why not just make them in hot dog buns! And using the top-split buns I can toast the sides, which will make them even better! These will be a nice choice for my granddaughter who's got 5 kids to feed.

Ingredients

20 minutes
6 sandwiches
  1. 1 lb.Sirloin steak
  2. 1med. Onion
  3. 8 oz.Mushrooms
  4. 1/2 tsp.Garlic powder
  5. Salt & pepper to taste
  6. Sliced provolone cheese (or your favorite)
  7. 6Top-split hot dog buns
  8. Cooking oil
  9. Softened butter
  10. Mayonnaise (optional)

Cooking Instructions

20 minutes
  1. 1

    (This steak is twice what I need, so freezing half of it.)
    Dice the onion and mushrooms. The smaller mushroom pieces get more evenly distributed than sliced. Slice the steak, against the grain, into thin slices.

  2. 2

    Lightly butter both sides of the buns. Toast on both sides in a skillet over medium heat to desired brownness. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Over medium-high heat, dry skillet, cook the mushrooms, stirring frequently, until most of their moisture evaporates. Stir in a pat or two of butter and continue cooking until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  4. 4

    Add 1-2 T. oil to the skillet. Cook the onions over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until soft and browned, about 8-10 minutes. Set them aside with the cooked mushrooms.

  5. 5

    Add 1-2 T. oil to the skillet and add the sirloin steak. Cook at medium-high heat, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and onions, sprinkle on the seasonings, stir to combine all, and cook 30 seconds more.

  6. 6

    If desired, spread a little mayonnaise in the buns. Fold sliced cheese in half and place in toasted buns. Pile in the steak mixture. Serve hot and enjoy!

My 5 siblings and I were raised in the 1950s and 60s midwest by a major foodie dad who was a great cook. We all learned to cook at a young age. I love to cook for my 2 daughters, 7 grandkids, 8 great-grandkids, and extended family. My 4 year old great-grandson makes my day when he says "Nan sure is a good cooker!". :-). I'm trying to get all my favorite recipes saved here so my family and friends all have easy access to them even after I'm gone. My Cookpad collection is their inheritance, so I try to add my comments and memories to each recipe; that way they'll remember me with a smile when they use the recipes years from now. Recently I've called on my grandkids (all adults and avid cooks) to send me their own favorite recipes, with their prep photos, so we can collect everyone's favorites together in one place.
