We created a cheese steak sandwich that boasts nearly half the calories of this usually fat-laden Philadelphia specialty, yet sacrificed none of the classic flavor. How, do you ask? We utilize onions that are softened with cooking spray instead of butter and sweetened with a touch of sugar; lean flank steak that's seasoned with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper; reduced-fat blended shredded cheese instead of lots of provolone or mozzarella; and mixed-grain hamburger rolls instead of carb-heavy hoagie rolls. The onion-steak-cheese combination is still equally satisfying, which you'll soon discover after you unwrap a warm sandwich and take that first bite.
Ingredients
Onion
1 medium, thinly sliced
Sugar
1 Tbsp
Uncooked lean flank steak
1 pound(s), cut into 8 thin slices
Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp
Table salt
¼ tsp
Black pepper
¼ tsp
Mixed grain hamburger bun
4 item(s)
Weight Watchers Reduced-fat Mexican style shredded cheese

Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 350°F.
2
Coat a large, nonstick skillet with olive oil cooking spray and set pan over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, add onion and sugar and sauté until tender and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove onion from pan; set aside.
3
Add steak to skillet and sauté until browned and cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper and cook until liquid is absorbed.
4
Slice rolls in half. Divide steak evenly between rolls and top with onion and cheese. Wrap in foil, transfer to oven and bake until cheese melts, about 10 minutes.
