Vegan Philly Cheesesteak with Oyster Mushrooms
Oyster Mushroom "steak", peppers and onions all marinated and baked to meaty perfection, stuffed into a long roll with gooey, melty vegan cheese. It's messy, meaty and delightful. You may just mistake it for the real thing.
Ingredients
Marinade
- ⅔ cups vegan beef broth* see notes
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- ½ teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Veggies
- 1 pound oyster mushrooms
- 2 bell peppers
- 1 sweet yellow onion
Gooey Cheese Sauce
- ½ cup raw cashews soaked in hot water for 30 mins to 1 hour
- ¾ water
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- ¾ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon yellow miso
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot starch (flour)
Rolls
- 3 hoagie buns or long rolls
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together marinade ingredients. Remove tough bottom of oyster mushroom if necessary and tear by hand, lengthwise into about ¾ inch wide shreds. Toss mushrooms into marinade and mix. Let sit and marinade while prepping onions and peppers. Halve peppers, remove seeds and slice. Halve onion and slice. Toss in with mushrooms and mix. Preheat oven to 425°F.
- When oven is heated, transfer peppers, onions and mushrooms onto 2 baking sheets in a single layer. Bake for 15 minutes, remove from oven and give a quick mix and rotate placement of baking sheets. Bake another 10-15 minutes until cooked to your preference. Cooking time may vary based on the size of your mushrooms and baking sheet.
- While baking, prepare cheese sauce. Add soaked cashews and all ingredients into a blender and process on high until smooth and creamy. Add mixture into a small sauce pan and cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring continuously. Sauce will become clumpy before becoming smooth and creamy, just keep stirring! Remove from heat
- Assemble! Optionally, toast your rolls in the oven for the last 3-4 minutes of baking then. Smear in the cheese, pack in mushrooms and enjoy!
Notes
*Vegan beef broth- I use Orrington Farms Vegan Beef Broth. In a pinch you can substitute another vegan broth alternative.
