Chef D and her students prepared Philly cheese steak sandwiches today in class. They were delicious!
They started by grilling boneless flat-iron steak that had been marinated overnight. Next, they grilled red and green bell peppers and onions until the onions were caramelized. They tossed the steak and veggies and then topped this with provolone cheese before putting the mixture on their hoagie rolls. They toasted the rolls in the oven before serving them.
