My review
Mini Philly Cheesesteaks

Chef John
"Miniaturized sandwiches don't usually float my boat, or submarine, as they're almost always not as good as the full-sized versions, but these mini Philly cheesesteaks really captured everything I love about the classic."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line baking sheets with aluminum foil.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk flour into hot butter and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is pale and flour taste cooks off, about 1 minute. Pour milk into flour mixture and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is hot and thickened, 3 to 6 minutes. Add 2 ounces provolone cheese, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, and salt; stir until cheese is completely melted. Remove from heat.
- Season steak all over with salt and ground black pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak in hot oil, turning occasionally, until meat is slightly firm and pink on the inside, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer meat to a plate.
- Return skillet to heat and pour water into the skillet; bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Pour liquid from the skillet over steak. Cool steak to room temperature; dice meat and place meat and accumulated juices from the plate into a large bowl.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; saute onion and peppers in hot oil until softened and slightly translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir peppers and onions mixture into diced meat; season with salt and pepper.
- Spread bread slices out on prepared baking sheets and drizzle remaining olive oil over the top. Turn slices over so that the oiled-side is facing down. Spread a thick layer of cheese mixture onto each slice. Spoon meat mixture over cheese. Sprinkle provolone cheese over the top of each slice.
- Bake in the preheated oven until browned and cheese is melted, 12 to 15 minutes.

Very tasty but also a little too crunchy for my taste. I would've liked it better if the bread had remained a little softer.

Delish! Next time I make these I will do the steak portion first then leave it sit to cool and do the sauce and chopping. Added a bit more Cayenne then it called for, it added more flavor and h...

This came out great with Italian bread. I then made it again a couple days later making it a pizza instead. This recipe is a definite keeper.

I adhere to the Blue Zones diet, which is 95% plant based. So I upped the veggies to 2.5 cups red and green bell peppers and 1.5 cups onions. Instead of skirt steak, I used two 6-inch chicken sa...

This was soooo good! I will definitely make this again, but some things to keep in mind - it took longer to prepare than I thought; cook the meat first, cheese second - it cools and is harder to...

Instructions were precise! I used yellow peppers instead and it tastes so good! May not look like the pros but it taste like the real thing
