Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 large Portobello mushrooms stems and gills removed, sliced into 1/2-inch slices
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4-8 slices Provolone cheese
  • 4 sub rolls

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Spatula
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Oven or broiler

Method
 

  1. Heat the canola oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Clean the Portobello mushrooms by removing the stems and gills, then slice them into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  2. Add the sliced onions and red bell peppers. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until soft and caramelized.
  3. Add the sliced Portobello mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes until tender.
  4. Pour in the soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce, add thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and lay the slices of Provolone cheese over the mixture. Cover the skillet to help the cheese melt, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Slice the sub rolls in half. Spoon the mushroom mixture onto the bottom half of each roll, top with the other half, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, use vegan butter and cheese.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat the mushroom mixture on low heat before serving.
