Cheesesteak Filling

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Steak

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced ribeye steak, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 4-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Melt the Cheese

    Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese over the steak and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet to melt the cheese, about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Bao Buns

    While the filling is cooking, steam bao buns according to package instructions until soft and fluffy.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Bao

    Place a generous spoonful of the cheesesteak filling into each steamed bao bun and top with cherry pepper relish.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the cheesesteak bao warm and enjoy!
