Bama Steak Sandwiches (So very EASY)

I have so many things photographed and ready to bring you that my mind is reeling with what to do first! Today I decided to bring you a super quick and easy recipe to give us all a break during the rushed holiday season. Can you believe, after all you do, your family STILL expects supper every night? ~grins~

Even though the world won’t stop for us, we can at least streamline things a bit by serving these gorgeous sandwiches. My nine year old has fits over them and my husband just moans while he eats them, unable to put it down long enough to speak!

This is what I make when I just don’t feel like cooking (can you believe I sometimes don’t feel like cooking? Shocks even me!). You know what? I had these done from start to finish in TEN MINUTES!

Lets start our week off easy, shall we?

You’ll need: 1 pound of roast beef lunch meat (I just got mine in the Wal Mart deli), one to two cups mozzarella cheese, a package of soft deli rolls, onion, margarine, and Dale’s Sauce.
If you don’t have Dale’s Sauce, you can use Moore’s Marinade, soy sauce, or a little bit of Worcestershire sauce.
You can also make your own marinade like Dale’s by clicking here to get my all purpose marinade recipe.
Chop up your roast beef a bit.
Chop up your onion.
(also chop your bell peppers. I kept mine rather large because my family members would have a coniption fit if they had bell peppers on their sandwiches)
Melt 1/2 stick butter or margarine in skillet.
Add your onions to the skillet. I snuck some bell peppers in there but kept them fairly large so I could pick them out and not put them on my family’s sandwiches.
You see, my son and husband think they will keel over and die if they ever have to eat a bell pepper. I think they were dropped on their heads as children, but I’m pretty sure I’ve said that before in previous posts :) .
Add a tablespoon or so of your sauce, depending on your taste.
Cook this over medium heat until your onions are tender, stirring often.
Add chopped roast beef and continue cooking and stirring just until your roast beef is warmed.
If you like, add another two tablespoons of your sauce.
Once that has been stirred in and your roast beef is good and warm, turn off stove eye and sprinkle cheese all over the top and let sit until melted.
Spoon onto your sandwich rolls.
DIVE IN!!! Oh, doesn’t that look YUMMY?
If you like, you can also make this filling the day before and just put it in the fridge, then heat up your filling in the microwave and place on your roll and you’re good to go!

    This was so easy and tasty I emailed the recipe to all my friends.

  2. Lisa Reynaud

    Dear Christy,

    I was absolutely heartbroken when I tried this recipe. It is soooo salty. Why is that? I followed the recipe exactly, and it was so salty that we couldn’t eat it. Please help. Thanks.

    • Hey Lisa!
      I’m so sorry you didn’t like it. Dale’s sauce is an extremely salty sauce (or marinade, whatever you wanna call it :) and that makes a pretty salty result. It could also be that your roast beef had a bit of added salt as well. If you prefer less salty (or as many people, can’t have the salt), I’d try watering down your Dale’s sauce or perhaps omitting it entirely.
      I hope this helps!
      Gratefully,
      Christy

      Did you use Dale’s seasoning?! If so, that was probably the reason..even the low sodium is too salty!

  3. Jen

    Holy Yum! I found some Dale’s to make this for the second time!Tastes even better. That stuff is great!

  4. [...] With summer here, many of us are marinating meat and grilling out on a regular basis. Burgers, chicken, chops, steaks, veggies, you name it, a good marinade can make the meal. There are two marinades often used in my neck of the woods that aren’t readily available everywhere else. Dale’s Sauce and Moore’s Marinade are both made in Alabama – and pretty much the same thing, although I’m sure either company would argue that. I use whichever one I grab first at the grocery store and they are the key ingredient in many of the meats I cook as well as my Bama Steak Sandwiches. [...]

    Christy, could you start saying how many servings your recipes make?

    Thanks so much!

    I threw these together last night and they were really good. I didn’t have a green pepper, but we didn’t miss it. I added lettuce and sliced tomatoes to the finished product and they were delicious with some potato chips.

  7. Must…have…one…now…

    I like recipes that are still doable after I’ve had half a bottle of wine.

    Made these tonight, Christy! My picky 7-yr old son LOVED them! And my not-so-picky-but-allergic-to-certain-foods 1.5 yr old daughter loved them as well! Can you believe it!? :) I used Worcestershire sauce on mine… never even heard of Dale’s here in Illinois. Turned out delicious! DH wasn’t home tonight for dinner so I’m hoping leftovers tomorrow will be just as tasty for him!

    I’m thinkin’ I’m gonna have to add a whole new recipe folder for JUST your recipes! ;) Almost every single one of them has been deemed a “keeper” by my family and me! Thanks again!

  9. Diane

    Absolutely delicious!!! Everyone loved those sandwiches….although I had to rename them haha . My daughter graduated from Mississippi State, and Alabama is not her favorite :) So, I just couldn’t tell her they were “Bama” steak sandwiches. :) We just moved from Tennessee to Montana to be close to our daughter, so I keep “Southern Plate” on display in my kitchen. Thanks

  10. Michael

    Super delicious and super easy! One said after eating “I would pay money for a sandwich like this one!” I used Angus Roast beef from the Farmers Market and equal parts Moore’s Marinade and Worcestershire sauce!

    Quick question though, how would you make this in a slow-cooker with chicken?

  11. Kjaristy

    I just made these for dinner tonight…we were out of Dale’s so I did Soy Sauce and Worcester Sauce Half and Half….Hubby ate two and wanted a third before I stopped him! I think I will have to call them anything but Bama Steak Sandwiches as we live in Gator Country! Thank you so much for all your recipes….we use them at least twice a week!

    I use an au-jus sauce that I get at Publix, it comes in a cute little white jug. Anyway, I have to cut it with water because like Dale’e it is sooo salty. My kids like to dip their sandwiches in the sauce so I whisk a little flour in the sauce to give it some thickness. YUMMYYY. I need to do the onions & cheese next time, they look so good.

  14. Kathy

    Looks like a great way to use left over roast from Sunday dinner. :)

  15. Linda Watters

    This sounds so yummy, Christy. We like Philly Cheese Steaks, so would probably call them that. Hope you don’t mind. I wonder if au jus would work work instead of the Dales Steak Sauce. I have it but haven’t tried it yet.

    Thanks for sharing such a great sounding recipe.

    Linda

  16. kristin

    just made these! yummm!!! Didnt have deli buns so I used hotdog buns :) It was good!

    Oh Christy! You are making a chef out of me not to mention a pig. I just made this Bama Steak Sandwich for the first time. I am eating the 3rd sandwich as I type. I am pigging out. I kept your recipe the same except I cut it in half since there is only me to feed. Even so it still made 3 heaping sandwiches. Now I won’t need dinner tonight. I also made your all purpose marinade and it is a keeper also. Since I joined SP my meals have become exciting and not so humdrum as before. Can hardly wait for your new cook book to be out. Thank you so much for all you do for me and the other members.
