Italian Cheesesteak Sandwich Recipe

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 pound very thinly sliced or shaved steak
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar Ragu® Old World Style® Traditional Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 4 Italian bread rolls
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 pound provolone or fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, mushrooms, green peppers, and pinch of salt. Saute until vegetables begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes; add minced garlic and cook another minute.
  2. Push vegetables to one side of skillet. Add the sliced meat to the open area and saute until no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. In a separate saucepan, heat Ragu(R) Old World Style(R) Traditional Sauce, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper over medium heat.
  4. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  5. Slice rolls lengthwise and place, opened, on a baking sheet. Toast for 30 seconds under a broiler on low heat, watching them carefully so they don't burn; remove from oven. Rub toasted sides of rolls with cut side of whole garlic clove; brush lightly with olive oil.
  6. Fold cheese slices into meat and onion/pepper mix and stir until cheese begins to melt; distribute among the toasted roll bottoms. Top with a generous spoonful of Ragu(R) sauce; save the rest for dipping if desired.
  7. Sprinkle with fresh basil. Serve immediately.
