PHILLY CHEESESTEAK LETTUCE WRAPS
These Philly cheesesteak lettuce wraps focus on three key cheesesteak ingredients: beef, onion, and cheese. These three ingredients go so well together, it hurts. I have always dreamt of experiencing my first true Philly cheesesteak hoagie, and my wish came true a few weeks ago as we went through Philadelphia. We took a local’s recommendation and got our fix at Tony Luke’s. Aaron and I split one classic cheesesteak sandwhich with one side order of French fries. I ordered the sandwhich with onions, but it didn’t come out with onions. Now, I actually feel robbed and like I didn’t truly get my first experience. I need a redo!!! Next time we’re in Philly, it’s going down…again.
My version of the Philly Cheesesteak is in a lettuce wrap. There’s no doubt that nothing compares to the original using that crusty, soft hoagie roll. But, I had to clean it up a bit. By leaving in the cheese you still get that oniony, gooey, melty experience. If you are into lettuce wraps already and looking for more, try out my eggroll in a bowl recipe and wrap that up in some lettuce cups.
This recipe is about as quick as they can get. Minimal ingredients, fast prep, and fast cooking makes this a great menu choice for a hectic workweek dinner!
