Ingredients

For the meat:

  • 1 1/2 lbs beef (Any cut you prefer or have on hand—about 75%frozen, but not rock hard)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 large red onion thinly sliced
  • 6 oz cremini mushrooms thinly sliced

For the sandwiches:

  • 2 medium baguettes
  • 1/3 cup blue cheese dip store-bought
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbled
  • 1 cup arugula
  • 3 purple figs , thinly sliced

To serve:

  • garlic blue cheese dip
  • balsamic reduction ( from my recipe for rainbow power grilled halloumi salad)

Instructions

  1. Take the frozen piece of meat (it should be hard, but not rock hard) and use a nice sharp knife to thinly slice the meat into paper-thin slices. Then you may cut the slices down into strips about 2”X1”.
  2. Season the meat with all the spices and set aside.
  3. Preheat a skillet or cast iron pan over high heat until it’s very hot. Then add in the oil, onions, mushrooms and meats.
  4. Keep stirring the mixture over high heat until the meat is no longer pink, and the onions and mushrooms are softened. This will take about 10-15 mins (depending on the size and thickness of the meat slices).
  5. Take the baguettes and slice them in half. Add the balsamic vinegar to the garlic blue cheese dip and spread this over the bread.
  6. Place some arugula over the bread, top this with the meat mixture, sliced figs and crumbled blue cheese.
  7. Put the baguettes into a panini press and press it for 5 mins.

  8. Slice the sandwich into small strips about 2”X1” in size and serve with the dips. ( For the balsamic reduction, follow this recipe)

Recipe Notes

  • My fabulous tip for you to cook your meat perfectly no matter what type of cut it is? Freeze your piece of meat until it’s about 75% frozen—so not rock hard, but definitely hard. Then take your nice sharp knife and slice the meat paper-thin slices. I prefer slicing thin slices and then cutting them up into about 2 inches by 1-inch strips.
  • For this Blue Cheese Philly Steak recipe, you do not need to buy the most expensive steak. Even with a cheaper cut of meat this Philly Steak Sandwich still has an AMAZING steak flavor.
  • Let's face it - fresh figs are not widely available! I’ve made this Blue Cheese Philly Steak Sandwich recipe many times before sans figs and they were still so so so GOOD! It’s just that I have a soft spot for figs ;)
