Ingredients

500 g Steak Sirloin, Eye fillet, Rib eye or other good quality
1 Baby Cos Lettuce Romaine
1 Lebanese cucumber Small
2 tablespoon White wine vinegar
1 Brown onion (yellow onion)
100 g Feta
175 g Mozzarella
4 Hotdog rolls
Salt and pepper
½ bunch chives
3 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Place steak in the freezer for 15 mins. This will make it easier to slice later.
TIP: If your steak packet has an absorption pad, remove from packaging and wrap in cling film first.
500 g Steak
Make a simple salad while we’re waiting for the meat to chill. Slice the base from your lettuce. Slice cucumber into half moons. Slice chives. Place in a salad bowl. If your child prefers plain veggies, serve cucumber and lettuce on their plate now.
1 Baby Cos Lettuce, 1 Lebanese cucumber, ½ bunch chives
Mix together olive oil, white wine vinegar, and a generous amount of salt and pepper (opt.), and then pour over the salad. TIP: If you are preparing this in advance, don’t dress the salad until just before serving.
2 tablespoon White wine vinegar, 3 tablespoon olive oil, ¼ teaspoon Salt and pepper
Finely chop onion. Slice feta and mozzarella and set aside.
1 Brown onion, 100 g Feta, 175 g Mozzarella
Slice bread rolls almost all the way through the middle, leaving a hinge on one side.
4 Hotdog rolls
Remove steak from the freezer and slice as finely as you can. This is what will give the meat the unique texture of a Philly cheese steak. Season well with salt and pepper (opt.)
500 g Steak, Salt and pepper
Place a large frying pan on medium, add oil and cook onion for 3-5 minutes, until caramelised, then remove from the pan and set aside on a plate.
1 Brown onion, 1 tablespoon olive oil
Do the remaining steps 2 serves at a time, then repeat as required. Increase heat to high, then place 2 serves worth of onion and steak in a thin layer in the frying pan and cook, without touching, for 1 min, then sauté for 2 mins.
500 g Steak
Divide steak mixture into two long parts (to fit the rolls) and top with a slice of feta and 2 slices of mozzarella.
Place a bread roll over each portion of meat and cheese, and cook for 1 minute more, or until the cheese starts to melt. Then flip roll, scooping cheese and meat into it. Repeat.
Serve immediately with dressed side salad.
