I remember the commercials from years ago. I didn't' know what a Philly cheese steak sandwich was at the time and I thought these were kinda silly. I've since learned the error of my ways, the divine nature of a good philly and Steak-umms are still on the market (in the freezer section)
Thought I'd give it a try! Sure am glad I did. I used a bag of PictSweet frozen diced onions and peppers and warmed them up (no caramelizing of the onions, just soft) in a saute pan with a little oil.
I cooked up the steak-umms per the package directions and piled stuff on a hoagie bun with cheese ... for my husband, Of course I couldn't eat that.
I think these would make awesome lettuce wraps but unfortunately I didn't have lettuce so I made ...ummm ... meat wraps
I used the steak-umm as the wrap, piled it with the peppers and onions and folded it up and ate it like that. Kinda messy with meat and onion juice dripping everywhere, but I was in heaven. The taste was cheesesteak sandwich. Peppers and onions and total taste bud ecstasy. I honestly didn't miss the bread at all (except maybe to soak up some of the drippings).
And since everything was from the freezer this really took just minutes to make. You don't even have to plan it because the meat is to be cooked frozen!
So next time you are in the mood for a philly, try a meat wrap.
