Tell me all about this 505 Southwestern Salsa & Queso Cheesesteak

Flavor – The 505SW™ Pineapple Mango Jalapeño Salsa absolutely makes this recipe sing. It adds that perfect touch of sweet and spicy to the steak. The onion, pepper, mushroom combination brings a slight crunch and more fresh flavors. But I have to say, it’s the 505SW™ Queso Blanco on top that adds my favorite creamy, slightly spicy element to this sandwich from south of the border.

Now, if you like to give your Southwestern Cheesesteak sandwich a little extra spice, we like to add some 505SW Flame Roasted Green Chile on top too. I also love that I can buy a large jar of this at Costco (across the country!).
Texture – Perfectly tender steak, slightly crunchy veggies and plenty of sauce makes this the perfect sandwich filling. We like to use classic hoagie roll buns, but feel free to put it on Hawaiian rolls or if you’re like Amy, put it on your favorite gluten free bread.

Making This Southwestern Cheesesteak

Difficulty Level – This sandwich recipe falls right between easy and moderate. Cutting and cooking the steak, onion and peppers takes a couple minutes, but no special skills. Everything else is a simple open and pour situation.

Prep Time – (about 15 minutes) Cutting the steak and veggies will take about 15 minutes.
Cook Time – (about 15 minutes) Cook the veggies until softened and set aside. To make it a Southwestern Cheesesteak, cook the steak with some sweet and spicy 505SW Pineapple Mango Jalapeño Salsa. Since the meat is sliced very thin (ask your butcher to do this for you if you can’t find it pre-sliced), it only takes a few minutes.

Simple Ingredients to make the best Southwestern Cheesesteak

Steak – Ribeye is the classic cut for cheesesteak, but you can use any tender cut that is shaved or very thinly sliced. I even love the pre-cooked shaved steak fro Costco. Delicious and makes dinner even easier!
505 Southwestern Pineapple, Mango, Jalapeño Salsa – This salsa has become a family favorite, since it’s sweeter without too much heat, so the kids love it just as much as we do. It add such an amazing flavor to the meat for this sandwich.
505 Southwestern Queso Blanco – Creamy and only lightly spiced, this sauce adds such an amazing flavor. I mean queso on top of steak? Can you possibly go wrong?
Onion, Peppers & Mushrooms – The onions and peppers get a little softer and become a touch sweet when cooked. Now the mushrooms are optional, but I love the texture and flavor they add. Like a little surprise.

Got Dietary Restrictions?

Can I make this gluten free? – Very easily! Simply substitute the hoagie rolls for your favorite gluten free bread.
Can I make this dairy free? – You bet! The only dairy in this recipe comes from the 505SW Queso Blanco. Either omit or find a plant based queso.
Can I make this Southwestern Cheesesteak vegetarian? You can, however we haven’t tried. To make it vegetarian, I would double the amount of onion, pepper and mushrooms and then replace the meat with Gardein or Impossible meats.

Ingredients

1 lb beef sliced very thin I used roundtop *
1 yellow onion
1 yellow bell pepper
1 C mushrooms chopped or sliced thin
1/4 C oil
1 C 505 Southwestern® Pineapple Mango Salsa
4 hoagie rolls

Optional Toppings

505 Southwestern® Queso Blanco
505 Southwestern® Hatch Valley Green Chile

Instructions

Pour oil into a large sauce pan or cast iron skillet.
Over medium low heat sauté onion, pepper, and mushrooms until very soft, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
In the same pan over medium heat add Pineapple Mango Salsa and allow to cook for a minute to slightly reduce.
Add in the beef and cook until cooked through about 1-5 minutes depending on thickness.
Warm the queso—we just put it in the microwave to save a dish.
To assemble on the hoagie—place meat, onion mixture, then drizzle with queso and top with green chiles.
Grab extra napkins, it’s about to get messy.

Notes

*Ask your butcher to slice very thin or partially freeze the steak prior to cooking and then slice with a very sharp knife.
