How to make Vegan Philly Cheesesteak
Prepare the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the bell peppers and mushrooms. Continue to cook until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
Cook the Vegan Beef: Add the vegan beef strips (or soy curls, tempeh, or seitan) to the skillet with the vegetables.
Stir in the vegan Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the vegan beef is heated through and well coated with the seasonings.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the hoagie rolls on a baking sheet.
Divide the vegetable and vegan beef mixture evenly among the rolls.
Top each with a generous amount of vegan cheese.
Bake: Bake the sandwiches in the preheated oven for about 5-10 minutes, or until the rolls are toasted and the cheese has melted.
Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy your flavorful Vegan Philly Cheesesteak! This plant-based twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak offers all the savory goodness of the original with vegan-friendly ingredients.
