Fancy Philly Cheesesteak

Courtesy of: Food's Greatest Hits

 

This upscale version of a good old Philly cheesesteak sandwich uses filet mignon and Brie cheese together with veggies, potato frites and some salt and pepper.

 

• 1/2  lb(s) filet mignon
• Salt and pepper
• ¼ red bell pepper, sliced
• ¼ green bell pepper, sliced
• ¼ red onion, sliced
• Oil, for frying
• 1 russet potato, cut into frites and placed in cold water
• 1 butter croissant
• 1 tsp grainy mustard
• 3 slices Brie cheese

To Make: 

 

1. Heat a grilled frying pan or barbeque to 450ºF (230ºC). Preheat oven to 350ºF (175ºC).

2. Season the filet mignon with salt and pepper. Cook meat for 4 minutes on each side until medium rare, or, as preferred. Place on a wire rack.

3. Sauté the peppers and onion for 2-5 minutes. Heat deep-frying oil to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Strain the potatoes, place on towel and pat dry. Carefully add the potatoes to the oil and fry for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oil and place onto paper towel to catch extra oil. Sprinkle with salt.

4. Cut the croissant in half horizontally. Spread grainy mustard on the top and bottom. Slice the filet mignon on an angle and fan it out on the croissant. Add the fried peppers and onions. Now layer on the sliced Brie cheese. Place into the oven until the cheese melts.
