Grilled Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers Sandwich

The cheesesteak was exceptional! I mean…you start with a great cut of meat and grill it. The traditional greasiness of a cheesesteak is gone. What you end up with is bite after bite of onions mingling with filet and bits of gooey cheese here and there, held in place with a crisp-tender roll. Yes, yes, YES! I may never order a cheesesteak again! Pat’s and Gino’s…you better watch out!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pound beef tenderloin or tenderloin tail
  • 2 large Vidalia onions
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 Philly style "steak" rolls or whatever crispy outside tender inside roll available in your region
  • Cheese American, Provolone or Cheese Wiz, room temperature
  • Accompaniments such as hot peppers mayonnaise, sauteed mushrooms

Instructions
 

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  • Season the meat.
  • Slice onions. Melt butter and sauté onions in a grill pan until slightly caramelized, season and set aside.
  • Grill meat until done to your liking. Depending on the thickness of meat, 12-20 minutes should do it. Allow to rest for 6-10 minutes.
  • Reheat onions briefly.
  • Slice rolls. You can tear out a little of the bread if your roll is dense.
  • Slice meat thin. Pile it onto your roll with some of the onions.
  • Add cheese quickly so the heat of the meat melts it a little. (See notes).
  • Add on hot peppers or sautéed mushrooms if you'd like. Take a big bite...repeat.

Notes

Tips:
  • As I stated earlier, typically the cheese is added while the meat and onion are on a very hot griddle. If you are using Wiz, melt that in your microwave. If using American, you can also tear a dozen slices up in a small bowl, add a little milk and use your microwave in 30 second increments to melt it, stirring furiously until it is smooth and place it over top of your sandwich with a spoon. OR you can allow your sandwich to sit in a hot oven for 2 minutes to help the cheese melt and crisp the roll.
  • For an authentic touch, use Cheez Whiz or American cheese instead of provolone.
  • You can also use chicken instead of beef for a delicious twist.
  • If you prefer a softer roll, you can lightly toast the hoagie rolls on the grill before assembling the sandwiches.
