GRAND ESCAPE STEAK SANDWICH

.posted by 17 Comments

This Grand Escape Steak Sandwich has thinly sliced beef cooked to perfection, melty cheese, peppers, onions, seasonings, and sauces. This quick-cook meal is a copycat version of a restaurant’s feature sandwich. My version is just as quick to make and is more economical than theirs!

This could be considered a Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich since it has all the components of ‘hot beef and melty cheese on a long flaky roll’. I modeled my sandwich after the chain restaurant, Steak Escape’s popular Grand Escape.

The ingredients for my hot, grilled sandwich are steak, cheese, onion, pepper, garlic salt, steak seasoning, soy sauce, and rolls.

GRAND ESCAPE STEAK SANDWICH

PEPPERS – Oftentimes, I use red or orange bell peppers instead of green bell peppers. Green bell peppers are bitter in my opinion. As well, you can leave them out altogether if you prefer.
BEEF –  The store had this labeled as ‘cheesesteak beef’, think Philly cheesesteak. It is actually thinly sliced Chuck Eye steak or roast. Chuck Eye steak and Chuck Eye roast are the same things, just packaged and sliced differently.
CHEESE – Traditionally, provolone is used for Philly Cheesesteak. However, Cheese Whiz and American processed have become popular. You can use your favorite cheese or whatever you have on hand. I used Pepper Jack.
BUNS – You need a sturdy bun for these beefy sandwiches. Therefore, I recommend hoagie or sub buns.
One very important suggestion, prep all your ingredients before you begin cooking this recipe. It doesn’t take long for the steak to cook. You will not have time to slice the veggies or cheese before the steak is done.
 Season the meat and vegetables. Heat your skillet to med-high and toss in the meat & veggies.
 Toss to cook and cut up the steak as it cooks with two spatulas or knives
kind of stirring and cutting as it cooks.
 Add cheese and allow to melt.
 I toasted the bun first then place it on the mixture. With a large spatula
‘scoop and turn’ the mixture onto the bun.

    While rushing through the grocery today I accidentally bought thin sliced chuck steak. As soon as I got it home and noticed, I realized I no idea what to do with it until now. . . Your recipe sounds delicious, quick and easy. Will try it tonight — after I go back to the grocery for hoagie buns and cheese. 🙂

    Hi PMC.

    Can I ask about that chuck steak texture? Was it at all tough or chewy? I’ve been told that chuck is pretty much the tougher cousin of rib eye. How does it turn out when it’s sliced thin like that?

    Thanks!

      Chuck ot Chuck eye steak is the fatter end of the ribeye. It’s not tougher (that I’ve found) just fatter. I cook it med-rare and slice across the grain and it’s tender in sandwiches. You could use a Flat Iron steak for this also, but I actually like the chuck steak better than a Flat Iron. You could use a ribeye too, but they’re usually too expensive to feed my boys too often.

      Hope this helps, Ed.

    I love cheese steak sandwiches, not good for my figure at all, but I have a weakness. I think I need to make one, just a teeny one 😉 xo
