Philadelphia Cheese Steak Sandwiches

It's the molasses that gives this recipe it's unique flavor.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 4 medium onions (about 1 1/4 cups)

• 1 1/2 lbs. boneless sirloin, cut in 1/2" strips
• 1/4 tsp. chili powder
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper
• 1 tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tsp. molasses
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced
• 2 green bell peppers, thinly sliced
• 4 small Italian, French, or sub rolls, about 6 inches long and split open
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
• 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese

Directions:

In a large nonstick skillet heat oil over med. heat. Saute onions and meat until onions are soft; about 3 minutes. Add chili powder, pepper, salt, Worcestershire, molasses, and garlic and cook for 5 minutes; stirring occasionally. Add red and green peppers and cook 3 more minutes.

Assemble the sandwiches: preheat oven broiler. Fill each roll with 2 cups of meat mixture and sprinkle with 2 Tbsp. mozzarella and 2 of provolone. Place under broiler until cheese melts, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

This is the original recipe. I omit the chili because we don't like it. I've also used ground beef instead of steak because my husband prefers it that way. I use less filling per roll and it gives me 6 to 8 rolls. I've taken these to parties as well; I use the little salad rolls instead. They are always popular with men.
