Tempeh "Cheesesteak" Sandwiches​

Recipe Description

A healthier, cruelty-free alternative to the original ​

Preparation Steps:

​

Level of Difficulty:

Easy​

Time Needed:

​

Ingredients:

1/4 Cup Teriyaki Sauce
1/4 Cup Balsamic Vinegar
1 Block Tempeh
1 Onion
1 Green Pepper
10 oz Mushrooms
2 T Olive Oil
Sandwich Rolls
Provolone (Optional)​

Serves:

​

Directions:

Whisk together the teriyaki sauce and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl.

Slice the tempeh as thinly as possible along the short side. Add the tempeh to the marinade, stir to coat, and set aside.

Thinly slice the onion, green pepper, and mushrooms.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Add the veggies and cook until they begin to caramelize, then add the tempeh and the marinade. Continue to cook until the liquid is absorbed and the tempeh is heated through.

I serve this in italian bread cut to size for easy portion control. I like mine without cheese (vegan) but I add a few slices of provolone and melt it under the broiler for DH.

These are delicious with or without steak sauce.​

Thanks again for this recipe. I've never cooked with tempeh, so this should be fun trying it out.

I have to admit that my few forays into tempeh were less than savoury. I might give it another try, though, for this recipe!

I decided to try this tempeh cheesesteak sandwich and it was great. I highly recommend it.
