Ingredients

Hibiscus Iced Tea

  • 4 cups Water
  • 2 Hibiscus tea bags (or 1 tsp of loose hibiscus tea per bag needed)
  • 2 TBSP Honey or sugar (adjust to taste)
  • Ice cubes

Cheesesteak

  • 2 TBSP Butter softened
  • 1 clove Garlic grated or pressed
  • 2 Sub rolls sliced ¾ of the way through
  • 2 tsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup Onion diced fine
  • ¼ cup Green bell pepper diced
  • 8 oz Shaved steak
  • ¼ tsp Salt more to taste
  • ¼ tsp Black pepper more to taste
  • 4 slices American cheese
  • 2 TBSP Mayonnaise
  • 2 Pickle spears

Broccoli

  • 2 cups Broccoli florets
  • ½ cup Cheddar cheese shredded
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the ingredients per the instructions above.
  • Boil the water then remove from the heat. Steep the tea bags for 10 minutes. Discard the tea bags and sweeten to your liking. Let the tea chill in the refrigerator.
  • In a small bowl, stir together softened butter and garlic. Gently scoop out the inside doughy part of the roll. Then spread garlic butter onto the insides of each sub roll.
  • Add half of the oil to a skillet over medium heat. Saute the onions and pepper (if using) until golden brown and caramelized, then transfer to a bowl.
  • Increase the heat to high and add the remaining oil. Spread the shaved beef in an even layer. Let it brown nicely for a couple of minutes undisturbed, then saute until it is fully cooked through. Then stir in the onions and peppers (if using) and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Divide into even portions in the pan, top each with 2 slices of cheese, and turn off the heat so the cheese will melt without overcooking the meat. Optionally, cover with a lid to help melt the cheese faster.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Toast the rolls buttered side down until golden brown, then set aside.
  • Spread a thin layer of mayo on the toasted side of each roll. Place a portion of the beef into the roll.
  • Steam the Broccoli: Place the broccoli florets in a steamer basket over a pot of simmering water, or use a microwave-safe dish with a lid. Steam until tender, about 4 - 6 minutes.
  • Melt the Cheese: Once the broccoli is steamed, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the hot broccoli while it's still in the steaming dish. Cover briefly with a lid or microwave-safe cover for 1 - 2 minutes to melt the cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour the chilled hibiscus tea over the ice.
  • Serve the philly cheesesteak, steamed broccoli with melted cheese, pickle, and hibiscus iced tea.
