Mushroom and Sweet Onion Cheesesteaks

Last night, we were watching Man Vs Food on the Travel Channel.... one of our favorite shows. This particular episode challenged Adam Richman to eat a Philly Cheesesteak that was about the size of my left leg. Even though I kinda get grossed out looking at Adam stuff his face with all kinds of foods, I was oddly craving a cheesesteak after this episode. I used a lightened recipe to create something that was filling and delicious.

Ingredients:
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided

12 ounces top round steak, cut into thin strips
1 1/2 cups thinly vertically sliced sweet onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 (8-ounce) package presliced mushrooms
1/4 cup Marsala cooking wine
1/2 cup green bell pepper strips
1/2 cup red bell pepper strips
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
4 (2-ounce) ciabatta rolls

Directions:
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add steak to pan; cook until browned, turning occasionally. Remove steak from pan. Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add onion and garlic to pan; saute 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Add mushrooms; saute 6 minutes. Stir in wine; cook until liquid evaporates (about 1 minute). Add bell peppers; saute 4 minutes. Return steak to pan. Stir in Worcestershire, salt and pepper; cook 1 minute or until thoroughly heated. Remove from heat. Sprinkle mixture with cheese; stir until cheese melts. Divide mixture evenly among rolls.

Oh, my....what a sandwich! While this would be good any time, I think that this would be a great winter supper. You might be ableto use the peppers you took home for a repeat of this sandwich!
