Who doesn’t love a classic Philly cheesesteak topped with mushrooms, peppers, and onions? Not only do they taste great, but these thin sliced steaks will cook up quickly for a meal ready in minutes. Serve with fried onions, mushrooms, peppers, and a good soft cheese.
Here’s a recipe we developed for our minute steaks:
Minute Steak Sandwich with Provolone, Roasted Pepper Mayo, and Buttermilk Fried Zucchini Chips
Ingredients
- 1 lb Minute steaks (Fully thawed and blotted dry with paper towels.)
- 4 Rolls (brioche or kaiser) (Buttered and griddled just before assembling the sandwiches.)
- 4-6 slices Provolone cheese
For the Roasted Pepper Mayo
- ½ cup Mayonnaise
- 1 Roasted red pepper
- 4-6 Fresh basil leaves
- 1 Small garlic clove, minced
- 2 Anchovy filets, minced
- 1 Tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Zucchini Chips
- 1 Large zucchini, sliced into 1/2 inch thick rounds
- 1½ cups Buttermilk
- 2 cups All Purpose flour (Lightly seasoned with salt and pepper and smoked paprika.)
- Stable oil/fat for frying: ghee, lard, olive oil, or tallow
- Sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Start by combining all the ingredients for the roasted pepper mayo and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to let the flavors develop.
For the Zucchini Chips
- Heat 3-4 cups of stable oil in a heavy pot like a dutch oven to 350 degrees.
- While fat is heating, slice the zucchini and soak in the buttermilk, making sure each slice is well coated.
- When oil is at 350 degrees, dredge the soaked zucchini slices in the seasoned flour, making sure each slice is coated. Shake off excess flour and gently slide into the hot fat. Cook 2-4 minutes until slices are golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels and lightly season with fine sea salt.
- Repeat as needed for all the slices.
For the Minute Steaks
- Heat a large steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly season the minute steak with salt and pepper.
- Grease the skillet with a small amount of fat and sear the steaks quickly in batches until all the steak has been cooked- this takes even less than a minute per steak! Set steaks aside on a platter to collect any juices.
- When the steak is all cooked, butter the cut faces of the rolls and sear in the same skillet as the steak until golden brown.
To Assemble
- For each sandwich, spread the top and bottom of the roll with 1-2 Tablespoons of the roasted pepper mayo. Place ¼ of the beef on the bottom of each sandwich, top with provolone slices, a nice small handful of the zucchini chips and a little more mayo if wanted.Enjoy!
We cut our grass fed shaved steaks from the round, so they are lean and cook easily without generating excessive grease in the pan.
Our cattle are always grass fed and grass finished, and rotationally grazed on the pastures at Wrong Direction Farm. Our cattle never eat grain or grain byproducts and they are free of antibiotics and hormones. Just cows eating the plants that grow in our pastures; it’s really that simple!
