Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the lamb

    Slice the leg of lamb thinly against the grain into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Make the garlic herb spread

    In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, minced garlic, and chopped fresh herbs. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the onions

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Slice the onion and add to the skillet. Sauté until caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 4

    Grill the lamb

    In the same skillet or on a grill, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the sliced lamb over medium-high heat for about 3-5 minutes, or until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 5

    Assemble the cheese steak

    On the sub rolls, spread a generous amount of the garlic herb spread. Layer the grilled lamb, caramelized onions, and top with provolone cheese slices.

Finishing

  1. 6

    Melt the cheese

    Place the assembled sandwiches under a broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the broiler, let cool for a minute, then slice in half and serve immediately.
