A cheesesteak is a sandwich with thinly sliced steak and melted cheese that hails from Philadelphia, USA. We make ours a showstopper by using New Zealand venison and emmental cheese.
Ingredients
- 500 g New Zealand farm raised venison minute steaks
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- salt and pepper
- 4 tbsp Olivado extra virgin avocado oil
- 1 green capsicum in slithers
- 1 onion thinly sliced
- 4 baguette rolls sliced open
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise optional
- emmental slices
- a handful Superb Herb crazy peas
Instructions
- Sprinkle garlic powder over venison steak and liberally season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat up your barbecue. Add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil and saute the green capsicum and onions for 3-5 minutes. Set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil and turn the heat up. Place your venison steak on the barbecue and sear for 2 minutes, then cook for a further 2-3 minutes, or until cooked to your liking. Leave to rest for 10min then slice thinly.
- Slather mayonnaise on your bread rolls and grill on the barbecue. Top with cheese slices and leave it on the barbecue until melted.
- Top with capsicum, onions, venison and finish with a few crazy pea shoots. Serve while warm.
Notes
*For a more traditional Philly cheesesteak,thinly slice the meat first and top with cheese once cooked.
Fresh tip: To slice your meat thinly, ask your butcher to do this for you, or pop the venison in the freezer for 30 minutes then use a sharp knife to thinly slice against the grain. Bring venison back to room temperature before cooking.
