This is one of my Mom’s famous recipes. It’s always made when there’s a bunch of family around for dinner since it’s quick, easy and inexpensive to make. Did I mention it’s also really good?
Ingredients:
- 1 lb sirloin or london broil thinly sliced
- 5-6 cloves of garlic minced or squished through a garlic press
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt
- 5 tbsp mayonnaise
- 4-6 sandwich rolls
Optional ingredients:
- sauteed garlic mushrooms (2 tbsp butter, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 cups slices mushrooms)
- cheese (OF COURSE!!!)
- sauteed spinach
- caramelized onions
So I’m making this sandwich with both the mushrooms and the cheese because it’s so good, but it doesn’t need it. Really. It’s really good with just the roll and steak. And for my vegetarian friends, it’s actually great with just mushrooms and cheese!
To get started, mix your meat strips with garlic salt and 3 minced or squished cloves of garlic. Set aside.
Then squish 2 cloves of garlic into the mayonnaise and mix.
In a nonstick pan, melt two tablespoons of butter. Toss in your sliced mushrooms and sautee.
After approximately 6-8 minutes, when the mushrooms are almost fully cooked, add in 1-2 mince or squished cloves of garlic, and sautee until the garlic is cooked, another 1-2 minutes. Put into bowl and set aside.
In the same pan, start cooking your beef strips…
Brown the strips, and I don’t mean lightly brown. You want them to have a little color like this-
Set your beef aside in a bowl and wipe down the pan, since you’ll be using it one more time.
Now for the rolls…
Make sure your pan is hot (medium high heat), then spread the garlic mayonnaise thinly on the split rolls.
Grill the roll split side down, pressing on the crust of the roll with a spatula to make sure the mayonnaise make full contact.
Looks good doesn’t it!
Now lay on a layer of meat…
Now, you could stop here. It’s so good with just the steak and the roll. But being the person I am…
of course I add mushrooms…
and cheese.
Type to you later people. It’s lunchtime!

It looks so yummy. I would prefer caramelized onion on top of it, too. It’s delicious lunch.
Love simple sammies like that! Not a fan of mushrooms, but the hubs is – I’ll have to make this over the summer!
Just in time for lunch!
Wow that looks good. Think I will try it this weekend
Wow – this looks fantastic! Although I don’t cook, my mom does; I’ll show her this recipe. Thank you for posting! 🙂
mmm… that’s pretty cool :)_
Man, that looks fantastic. I agree–have to add the mushrooms though…
Congrats on making Freshly Pressed! I LOVE garlic so I am excited to give these sandwiches a try! Cheers!
Thank you! Wow Freshly Pressed… WOW!!
Oh am I hungry now! It’s looks fantastic, I love cheese steak. What kind of cheese do you use?
I usually try to use the sharpest cheddar I can find, but that doesn’t stop me from using provolone at times… I’m a cheese addict, so it could be just about anything!
We sooooo have to try this recipe!!! Thanks for posting it!!

Enjoyed this recipe, I look forward for more in the future.
oooooh…. sounds good! I am so going to try this! Thanks!
ehm…… yummy……
Oh god that looks good!!! And here I am thinking what I am going to have as a late night snack.
Not bad, not bad at all.
I’ve never been a fan of thick slices of meet though, I’d cut the strips down by about half, then get mushroom slices (cm thick if that) and add those.
But it’s your recipe and it looks amazing. I might borrow it with the above additions *wink* Good stuff!
Sounds excellent!
I LOVE sandwich rolls
Think I just drooled a little bit.
This looks great.
Funnily enough, I never really invest very much time into making a sandwich, as I think of it a quick snack. But this would be good as a main meal with some fries or roast potatoes.
I did a little experiment the other day of putting some cold leftover mashed potato into a toasted ham and egg sandwich, and it was amazing.
I’m thinking mash might be good in here too 🙂
omg looks soo good ❤
Yummy, this looks so good – just going oiff to make one!
nice.. yumm ..

Mmmm looks delicious, though I’d probably opt for onions instead of mushrooms.
Oh WOW! I will definitely try the vegetarian version – it looks DELICIOUS!
