Babe-O's Dacula Steak Sandwich ~ So Delicious!

This sandwich turned out even better than I envisioned in my mind! My dad LOVES cheese steaks and this one turned out G.R.E.A.T.!

It all started at the Super H Mart the other day. I bought a giant loaf of Barbari Bread. I wasn't sure what kind of bread it was, but I had bought a similar loaf from a European Bakery and made Reuben's.
I built my entire idea for these Steak Sandwiches around this loaf of bread. I immediately went back to the meat department and got some very thinly sliced ribeye steak. Then back to the produce for some mushrooms and peppers.

I cooked the meat, onions and peppers in my Dutch Oven. Start by slicing the onions and peppers and cooking them in the pan with a little bit of garlic infused canola oil. Once they were soft and cooked, I put them in a separate bowl for later. Cut the steak into strips and use the same pan to cook the meat. I put just a little more oil in the pan and cooked the meat until no longer pink. I added another sliced onion to the pan with the steak and cooked until done. Add the peppers and onions back to the pan with the steak, mix together, put the lid on the pan and turn off the heat. This is letting the meat rest and holding in all the moisture of the meat and veggies.

In a separate pan, I heated some oil and cooked sliced mushrooms separate from the onions and peppers to have as a topping for the sandwiches. Dad doesn't really like mushrooms, so that is optional if you don't want to cook them together with the onions and peppers.

I had pre-heated the oven to 350 degrees to get the bread nice and toasty. Slice the bread to make 5 or 6 LARGE sandwiches. I used sliced Pepper Jack cheese for the bottom of the bun and shredded Sharp Cheddar cheese for the top of the bun and toasted in the oven for 8-10 minutes.

When the bread was toasted, it was time to pile the steak high on the bun and serve!
Mom had hers with sliced tomato, fresh onion and jalapeno (just an overall sub sandwich). We all used the oil and vinegar Submarine Sandwich topping, which made them extra delicious!
I hope you are inspired to make your own Steak Sandwich and that it is as delicious as mine!

Enjoy!

Zesty Mushrooms!

Don't you just love the recipe that you didn't know existed? That is what happened when I put these ingredients together last night as a topping for our steak.

I'm gonna call em'....... Zesty Mushrooms!

Ingredients:

1 pack of white mushrooms
1 medium sweet onion
3 cloves of peeled garlic
2-3 tablespoons Zesty Italian Dressing
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Fresh ground black pepper
Garlic infused canola oil
Pat of butter

Drizzle the canola oil in the bottom of skillet, just enough to cover bottom. Brush the mushrooms off with a damp cloth and cut in half and add them to the pan and swirl them around in the oil. Slice the onion and add them to the mushrooms. Thinly slice the garlic cloves and add them to the pan. Don't have the heat set too high or the garlic will burn. Keep the mixture tossed around in the pan and add the pat (or 2) of butter to the pan. Let the mushrooms get a little brown and the onions get soft. Add the red pepper flakes and grind some black pepper over the top (add as much or little as you like).
Turn off the heat and add the dressing. Toss the mixture around and serve. 
This is perfect as a side or to top any grilled meat.
