Recipe FAQ's
How to clean mushrooms before cooking?
I prefer to wipe mushrooms with a damp paper towel. You could also use a mushroom brush to avoid excess moisture.
If the mushrooms are really dirty, you can quickly rinse and dry them immediately afterward. Always trim the stem ends.
Store-bought mushrooms typically only need wiping, while wild mushrooms may require more cleaning.
What kind of onion is best for a steak sandwich?
A yellow onions' texture and flavor makes them ideal for sautéing and caramelizing.

Substitutions and Variations
- Try using a different cut of meat like skirt steak, flank steak, sirloin, or even a quality ground beef work well. Chicken or pork would work great too!
- You could even use leftover steak! Try my recipe for Skirt Steak or London Broil.
- Mushrooms and onions are classics, but try adding roasted peppers.
- Try pepper jack cheese or a drizzle of flavored cheese sauce for some extra zest.
- Instead of hoagie rolls, try dinner rolls, crusty baguettes, soft slider buns, or even wraps can make the base. You'd love my Homemade French Baguette recipe!
Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 2: Add the mushrooms and season with salt.
Quick Tip
Adding salt to the mushrooms not only adds flavor, but helps draw the moisture out so they soften.
Step 3: Once the mushrooms have softened, add in the steak and the steak seasoning.
Step 4: Cook until the steak is cooked through, tossing with the onions and mushrooms.
Step 5: Add mayo and cheese to the hoagie buns.
Step 6: Pile on the steak, onions, and mushrooms.
Baking Instructions
Step 7: Toast in the air fryer at 350°F or for a couple of minutes or in the oven for 5-8 minutes. You can also bake it in the oven fo 5-8 minutes.

Storing, Freezing, Thawing and Reheating Tips
Refrigerator: Place the leftover sandwich in an airtight container or wrap well in aluminum foil. Refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Wrap the sandwich in aluminum foil to keep the sandwich from drying out and air fry (or bake) at 350°F for 5-8 minutes depending on how thick the sandwich is.
Freezer: I would not freeze the sandwich as a whole, but you can freeze the leftover cooked steak also in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
Thawing: Allow the frozen steak to defrost in the refrigerator overnight and follow the directions for putting the sandwiches together when defrosted.

Instructions
