Philly Cheese Steak Sliders
As delicious as they are, traditional Philly cheese steaks are notorious for heartburn-inducing piles of greasy meat and oozing cheese on a processed white bread roll.
But with a few healthy tweaks, they can fit into your healthy eating plan.
By using fresh veggies, lean sirloin steak, and smaller whole-wheat rolls, you can get the same authentic flavor without the extra fat and calories.
Slap on a slice of provolone cheese and you’ve got yourself a meal!
Pro tip: To make slicing sirloin easier, freeze it for approximately 30 minutes before slicing.
