My hubby, who’s from Philadelphia, invented the ultimate low-carb sandwich: the Philly Cheese Steak on Portobello Mushroom “Buns”. It is so easy to make – great for the lazy days of summer. You won’t believe how rich, juicy and yummy it is! If you love portobello mushrooms, you will love this sandwich!
You just scoop out the gills from the mushroom caps, and broil them a few minutes. Saute up some onions and peppers. Saute some chopped deli roast beef with a little soy sauce, sherry and tomato paste. Top the mushroom/bun tops with slices of provolone cheese, and put them under the broiler until the cheese melts. Pile some roast beef and peppers and onion on the bottom”buns”. Press the cheesy cap on top of the veggies and beef and eat it like a sandwich.
Have some extra napkins and a plate underneath to catch the drippings from this juicy sandwich treat! Chow down on these Philly Cheese Steaks sans bread, and prepare to be amazed at how awesomely delectable they are!
