Cheesesteak sandwiches with a little dutch oven help...

If you are looking for something really easy, give this a go.

The hardest part was slicing the sirloin steak thin.

Here is how I did it and what I used. I'd love to hear feedback.

Three pounds of sirloin steak

2 cups of shiitake mushrooms, sliced

1 large purple onion

1 large white onion

2 large green bell peppers

1/2 cup of Worcestershire sauce

Provolone cheese

Hoagie rolls

A favorite steak rub - I used Dizzy's Raising the Steaks (Montreal style)

Olive oil

Set the BGE for 300* direct. You'll need a large dutch oven with lid as well.

I sliced the steak into strips the best I could and set aside. I added a very liberal amount of Raising the Steaks.

Once the Egg reached 300* I sat the dutch oven on the Egg to warm. I then added about 4 tablespoons of Olive oil.

Once the oil was hot, I put in the steak and covered it up with the lid of the dutch oven.

I sliced the rest of the ingredients up while the steak was browning. I added a half a cup of Worcestershire sauce as the steak was browning.

Once the steak was completely browned, I added the veggies and recovered with the lid of the dutch oven.

About half way through this process I added another liberal amount of Raising the Steaks rub. I probably over did it here since they came out pretty spicy.

Once all of the veggies were soft, I removed the dutch oven from the Egg and let it rest for half an hour.

I couldn't find any fresh hoagie rolls, so I went with something from the bread aisle.

I built the sandwiches with two pieces of provolone cheese on top of the meat.

This was the easiest thing I've done so far in the past 11 months that I've owned my large. I may do them again for the Super Bowl and tone down the amount of Dizzy Pig rub I used for seasoning.

That looks delish.....

If you put the steak in the freezer for thirty minutes or so, it'll slice a lot easier and won't affect the cook.

I just got a new Lodge DO from their outlet store in South Pittsburg, TN. This could be its virgin cook.

Thanks.

Looks amazing. Always looking for something different to cook in the DO. What do you think about leaving the lid off during the browning to get a little smoke flavor introduced?

I think leaving the lid on helped to create that aus jus, along with the Worcestershire sauce. There was a ton of steam that came out every time I lifted the lid on the DO to stir.

Try it and let me know. I didn't use any blocks since I thought it would be a waste since I used the lid on the DO.
