Treat your ingredients with care...

• Feta cheese — crumble the cheese just before using it to prevent it from drying out.
• Beef sirloin — slice the beef thinly against the grain for a tender texture.

Tips & Tricks

• For a spicier version, add some red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
• If you can't find hoagie rolls, you can use any type of bread you like.
• To make the sandwich even healthier, you can use whole wheat hoagie rolls.

Serving advice

Serve the cheesesteak hot, with a side of sweet potato fries or a green salad.

Presentation advice

Cut the sandwich in half diagonally and serve on a wooden board for a rustic look.
