High Protein, Low-Calorie Philly Cheesesteak
I've been craving a Philly Cheesesteak lately. I didn't want to buy a steak, because I have no way of shaving it. So, instead I bought pure Angus roast beef from the deli. It worked perfectly. I used low-cal mayo, shredded lettuce, sauteed peppers and onion, and topped with a slice of provolone. Of course, the main reason why this sandwich is high protein, low-carb, and no sugar is because it's made on our 8" hoagie rolls.
The macros for a the full sandwich are 540 calories, 62g protein, 16g total carbs w/ 14g fiber (4 net carbs).
Ingredients needed:
- UnbelievaHoagie - https://unbelievabuns.com/collections/retail/products/unbelievahoagies-new-high-protein-low-carb-8-hoagie-rolls
- 4 ounces of shaved steak. You can use roast beef from the deli as mentioned above.
- 1 to 2 slices of cheese (we used provolone). You can use low-fat shredded mozzarella to make it lower calorie.
- 1/4 cup diced green peppers
- 1/4 cup diced white onions
- Low calorie mayonnaise
- Shredded iceberg lettuce
Start by sauteing your green peppers and onions in a skillet over medium heat. Once charred, add your shredded beef, mix it in with the peppers/onions and cook to temp. While the skillet is still hot, aline ingredients and top with cheese. Add a cover to the skillet to help the cheese melt, pull the skillet off the heat and set aside.
Start prepping your hoagie. Toast the inside of the hoagie roll. Add low-calorie mayo to the bottom, top with shredded lettuce.
Now you're ready to combine the two. Carefully scoop your beef, pepper, onion, cheese mix on to your hoagie roll. Eat. Enjoy. Repeat.
