CHEESE STEAK APPETIZER RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat 2 inches canola oil to 375°F.
• Heat 10- to 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until softened. Add beef; season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook and stir to blend flavors. Remove skillet from heat; set aside to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, separate dough into 10 biscuits; press each into flattened round. Cut each slice of bacon in half crosswise.
• For each bundle, place 1 rounded tablespoon beef-onion mixture in center of each biscuit round; top with 1 cheese cube. Pull edges of dough up and over filling; pinch edges to seal.
• Wrap 1 half-slice of bacon around bundle; secure with toothpick. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
• Gently place bundles into hot oil; cook 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown on all sides. Drain on paper towels; serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line baking sheets with aluminum foil.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk flour into hot butter and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is pale and flour taste cooks off, about 1 minute. Pour milk into flour mixture and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is hot and thickened, 3 to 6 minutes. Add 2 ounces provolone cheese, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, and salt; stir until cheese is completely melted. Remove from heat.
• Season steak all over with salt and ground black pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak in hot oil, turning occasionally, until meat is slightly firm and pink on the inside, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer meat to a plate.
• Return skillet to heat and pour water into the skillet; bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Pour liquid from the skillet over steak. Cool steak to room temperature; dice meat and place meat and accumulated juices from the plate into a large bowl.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; saute onion and peppers in hot oil until softened and slightly translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Stir peppers and onions mixture into diced meat; season with salt and pepper.
• Spread bread slices out on prepared baking sheets and drizzle remaining olive oil over the top. Turn slices over so that the oiled-side is facing down. Spread a thick layer of cheese mixture onto each slice. Spoon meat mixture over cheese. Sprinkle provolone cheese over the top of each slice.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned and cheese is melted, 12 to 15 minutes.
