PHILLY CHEESE STEAK
Why I Love This Recipe
Wish you were here in Philadelphia, eating a cheese steak. No doubt about it, cheese steak is the quintessential Philly food. Too bad it can pack more than 60 grams of fat. To keep the greasy drippings from staining shirts, Philadelphians have learned the "Philly lean," a way of bending forward to the cheese steak rather than bringing it to the mouth. Self's "Philly lean" features a trimmer cut of meat, less cheese and more peppers so it has about half the calories and a third of the fat of the original — and provides 60 percent of your daily vitamin C needs.
Ingredients You'll Need
3 medium onions, sliced very thin
2 green or red sweet bell peppers (or combination), cored, seeded and sliced very thin

2 lb extra-lean beef tenderloin (9 percent fat), sliced very thin
6 slices(1 oz each) part-skim mozzarella
6 soft Italian rolls, split
