Vegetarian Cheesesteaks Recipes

VEGETARIAN PHILLY CHEESESTEAK

Steps:

• Pepper and Onions: Heat 1 Tbsp of oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add pepper and onion, cooking until soft and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Mushrooms. Meanwhile, shred mushrooms with forks into rough strips. Remove pepper and onions from pan. Heat remaining oil then add mushrooms, soy, Worcestershire, and seasonings. Cook over medium/high heat until mushrooms are soft and moisture has all cooked out, about 10 minutes.
• Cheese It: Add pepper and onions back into the pan, mixing into the mushrooms. Shape into 2 or 3 mounds then top each with cheese. Cover and cook until cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to rolls or buns and serve warm.

VEGETARIAN MUSHROOM CHEESESTEAK WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• To make the caramelized onions: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Saute the sliced onions for 6-8 minutes, until lightly browned. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and lower the heat to medium-low. Stir the onions only every 9-10 minutes. They're ready when golden brown and sweet, which can take up to an hour.
• In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and peppers and saute until the mushrooms release most of their juices, about 7-8 minutes.
• Sprinkle mushrooms with soy sauce and oregano. To thicken the mushrooms and their juices, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of flour, stirring to brown.
• Melt the provolone cheese by placing each slice over a section of mushrooms and peppers. Cover the pan with a lid to melt.
• Scoop the melted cheese and mushrooms onto a toasted sub roll. Top with caramelized onions and enjoy!

VEGETARIAN CHEESESTEAKS

Steps:

• Heat an oven to 425℉.
• Place the uncut sandwich rolls on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. When you tap on the crust and it seems crisp but fragile, remove from oven.
• Squeeze the pepperoncini pepper juices into a small bowl. Slice the pepperoncini peppers into 1/4-inch rings and set aside.
• Thinly slice the rest of the vegetables-the onion, green pepper, jalapeño, and mushrooms. Set aside.
• Add oil to a large skillet and put over a medium heat.
• Add the onions to the oil and fry until just the edges of the onions turn brown.
• Add the bell peppers and jalapeño. Fry until all peppers begin to get soft.
• Add the mushrooms, the pepperoncini pepper juice, garlic salt, oregano, black pepper, and red pepper flake.
• Fry uncovered. Occasionally turn the vegetables until desired softness is reach. Remove from heat and mix in the sliced pepperoncini peppers.
• Slice the sandwich rolls and add a slice of provolone cheese to each roll. Add the pepper and mushroom mixture. Top with another slice of provolone cheese.
• Place sandwiches under a broiler until provolone cheese is melted. If you do not have a broiler, you can also bake it at 425℉ for about 5 minutes to get the same result.
• Serve hot.

THE BEST VEGAN CHEESESTEAKS

Steps:

• Heat a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over high heat, then add 2 Tbsp. canola oil. Add 1 lb. mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and king oyster), sliced, ½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt, and ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned and any liquid has evaporated, about 7 minutes.
• Lower heat to medium-high and add 1 cup chopped onion and remaining 1 Tbsp. canola oil. Cook, stirring often, until onions are browned, about 5 minutes. Stir about 2 Tbsp. sauce into mushroom-onion mixture.
• Coat two 6" soft hoagie rolls, warmed but not toasted, split on cut sides with remaining sauce. Divide mushroom-onion mixture between hoagie rolls and serve immediately.
