PHILLY CHEESESTEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until golden, about 4 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Remove the onion to a plate. Add the beef to the skillet and cook, stirring, until just starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Add a few dashes each of hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce and toss to coat.
• Pile the beef and onion onto the rolls and top with cherry peppers and cheese. Place on a baking sheet and broil (open-face) until the cheese melts.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat olive oil and add sliced mushrooms, green pepper, onion, salt and pepper (if using).
• Cook over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until tender and onions begin to caramelize.
• If slicing your own bread, it works best if the bread is not sliced all the way through, but sort of hinged at one side.
• Place 5-6 ounces frozen steak-umms on a heated griddle or frypan and cook until nicely browned, shredding meat with forks or a spatula as it thaws and cooks, and shaping meat into a bun-shaped pile.
• Drain off any fat as it accumulates in the pan.
• Place some of the cooked vegetable mixture on the pile of cooking meat.
• When meat is done to your liking, place opened hoagie roll over meat and use a long spatula to lift sandwich and turn it over.
• Put any dropped filling into the bun.
• Add sliced banana peppers to sandwich and any condiments (mustard or mayo).
• Place 2 (1-ounce each) slices provolone cheese over filling (or you may add melted cheddar spread at this point).
• Microwave sandwich for 30-45 seconds or until bun has softened and cheese is melted, if desired.
• Slice in half and serve hot.
• Repeat with remaining sandwiches.

GREEN CORIANDER RICE

Steps:

• Place the capsicum, onion, garlic, coriander and parsley in a food processor. Blend to a fine paste. If you dont have a processor- chop ingredients as finely as possible or use a mortar and pestle. Set aside.
• In a saucepan, heat the butter and oil. Add the rice and fry gently for 2 to 3 minutes- until the grains become translucent.
• Quickly stir the herb paste into the rice. Continue to cook over heat for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Pour in the boiling stock and season with pepper. Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook 10- 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the stock has been absorbed. Watch closely after the 10 minute mark and add some extra water if more liquid is required.
• Remove from the heat and leave to stand , with the lid covered for a few minutes.
• Fluff the rice with a fork to seperate the grains and serve garnished with chopped coriander leaves or sprigs.

PHILLY CHEESE STEAK DIP

Steps:

• Slice steak into thick pieces. Season generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat olive oil in a pan over high heat until smoking. Add steak slices and sear until bottoms are browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip over and reduce heat to medium. Cook until juices appear on the tops, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
• Add diced onion, a big pinch of salt, and butter to the meat juices in the pan. Cook and stir over medium heat, scraping up the browned bits, until onions start to soften, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Dice up the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, pepperoncini, pickled red peppers, and jalapenos until you have 1 1/2 to 2 cups. Add to the onions; cook and stir until starting to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Chop steak into small pieces. Place back into the bowl with the accumulated meat juices. Add the onion-pepper mixture and cream cheese. Grate in the provolone cheese, saving a little for the top. Drizzle in Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle in cayenne pepper. Mix dip thoroughly.
• Transfer 1/2 of the dip into a small baking dish. Smooth the top with a fork. Place baking dish on top of a sheet pan. Sprinkle the remaining provolone cheese on top. Save the other 1/2 to bake fresh for your guests.
• Bake in the preheated oven until dip is bubbling and heated through, 20 to 25 minutes. Broil until top is browned, about 1 minute more. Repeat with the second batch of dip.
