Well it is the end of the week and that normally means using some of the leftovers that are in the fridge to make a great dinner. So tonight I made a semi-version of a Philly Cheese steak.
I had left over roast, from the crock pot roast beef, left over marinated chicken, the chicken was marinated in soy sauce, lime juice and garlic salt for at least an hour... I think mine was a few hours I like the flavor a little stronger then put it on the grill... getting side tracked ... and left over mushrooms from the Alfredo.
You will need a frying pan with good sides, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, add the mushrooms, sauté until brown, they will shrink a little... then add the diced up chicken and beef .. Warm through
While the mixture is cooking heat your oven to 400 and toast 2 sub rolls (they are a little big if you want them smaller use hot dog buns) probably 6-8 minutes they should be lightly toasted.
Take your toasted buns and spread one half with mayo, one half dijion mustard and then a little raw horseradish (I don't like onions and peppers, so the mustard and horseradish kind of take the place of them) it provides a nice tang... then spread the meat mixture high on the bun and top with provolone cheese (you can use what ever kind of cheese you want but I like provolone because it melts nice) Then most important.. smush it all together, you have to smush to get everything to stick together.
For a side I had mashed sweet potatoes and mashed regular potatoes so I made potato pancakes ... the pancakes I baked in the 400 degree oven instead of in the frying pan, it cuts down on the fat, for about 8 minutes on each side. Then I topped them with butter, can you tell I love butter, for the Sweet Potato Cakes I sprinkled with cinnamon sugar
That is what we had for dinner tonight and the best thing about it ... I had everything already in the fridge so I spent $20.00 bucks on groceries and got 3 dinners out of it ... not bad!
