    Philly Cheesesteak is certainly not very vegan sounding, and we know there are people that don't 'get' creating something that looks like meat, but for vegans, right? It's OK – we're open to critisism.

    Vegan Philly Cheesesteak

    This is for those vegans who didn't neccessarily hate the taste of meat, but have chosen to avoid all animal products because they're guided by their moral compass. And, we all know that reducing meat and dairy consumption helps the environment –according to the Guardian, it's the biggest thing you can do to combat climate change.

    So, for anyone that's looking out for the planet, doing their bit and reducing their meat consumption, or for vegans who get cravings now and again – this one's for you.

    Ingredients

    Metric - US Customary
    • 2 baguettes – 6" sub rolls
    • 120 g vegan beef strips - we used Fry's Family Chargrilled Beef-Style Strips
    • 1 onion - sliced
    • 1 red pepper - sliced
    • 1 green pepper - sliced
    • 2 cloves garlic - finely chopped or crushed
    • 100 g vegan cheese something that melts nicely - we used Follow Your Heart's Pepper Jack Slices
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 2 tbsp Vegan mayo
    • Salt & black pepper

    Instructions

    • Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Get the onion in the pan and cook until it's beginning to soften and go translucent.
      1 onion, 1 tbsp olive oil
    • Add the peppers and cook until everything has slightly browned.
      1 red pepper, 1 green pepper
    • Chuck in the garlic, vegan beef strips and season with a good helping of salt and black pepper, then cook for another couple of minutes until everything is hot.
      120 g vegan beef strips, 2 cloves garlic, Salt & black pepper
    • Put your cheese on top of the mix in your frying pan, and cover with a lid (or something else, like foil, if your pan doesn't have a lid) - the steam that's created from keeping the pan covered will help the cheese melt.
      100 g vegan cheese
    • While the cheese is melting, spread vegan mayo the bread, and if you want extra room for filling, remove some of the inside of the bread (not ashamed to say we did this)!
      2 tbsp Vegan mayo, 2 baguettes
    • Serve the cheese-topped mix into your rolls and serve.
