Philly Cheese Steak - sort of...
Tonight's dinner. Burger cooked like Philly Cheese Steaks... For me, on grain-free bread. For Brian - on tortillas. YUMMM!
2 pounds Burger
1 bell pepper - Diced
1 purple onion - Sliced Thin
1 carton mushrooms - sliced, washed, dried
3 Garlic Cloves - Minced
OIL for cooking
In LARGE skillet, saute onion and mushrooms and bell pepper and garlic until soft and translucent (the onions). Add the 2 pounds burger and cook (break meat apart as it is cooking) until no pink is left, stirring very often.
Shredded cheese - Colby, American, Cheddar, Etc.
Mayo sauce:
2 eggs
1 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
garlic powder
Onion powder
Mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup oil
Dump all mayo sauce ingredients into a hand blender cup. Use hand blender to process until creamy. Should still be pourable.
Bread of some type (or a bed of lettuce)
TO ASSEMBLE:
Bottom layer - bread or lettuce bed
Meat mixture
Mayo Sauce
Shredded Cheese
Each person makes his or her own on the plate - so portions can vary by choice and preference.
