Preparing
1. Julienne onion and green pepper. To julienne is to finely slice food into thin strips.

and saute on low-medium heat until warm throughout (about 2 minutes).
7. Place cheese slices on top of vegetarian steak slices for 1 to 2 minutes, until melted.
8. Lightly toast hoagie buns while cheese melts.
9. Remove mixture of "Philly-style" steak slices, pepper, onion, and cheese
from skillet with large spatula.
10. Fill each hoagie bun with the veggie steak, sauteed vegetables and cheese.
11. Dig in and enjoy your scrumptious vegetarian Philly cheesesteak
sandwich and healthy lunch!
