Tonight I wanted a Steak. In fact, a cheese steak. But as you may know, I am now on a low carb diet due to a recent diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, so NO BREAD! But I had a plan. I knew I had some steak strips and a what Trader Joe's calls a "Melange a Trois" - 3 peppers - red, yellow & green, sliced and ready to use in whatever dish one wants, and I wanted a CHEESE STEAK!
The only other pantry ingredients I needed were half an onion and shredded cheddar cheese, both items I always have on hand! I sauteed everything in my cast iron skillet and topped it with the cheese and let the residual heat and steam melt it when I covered it.
This was great on several levels. It tasted just like a cheese steak...except I didn't have any mushrooms on hand, but it was very good without. It was all from products I had on hand (and will keep on hand), and was LOW CARB! As my wife would say "it's a keeper"!
