Method

Vegan Cheese Sauce:
  1. Add all the ingredients (except the miso & vegan butter) to a saucepan.
  2. Stir until everything is evenly combined
  3. Place the pan over low heat and cook while stirring until the sauce starts to thicken and become smooth
  4. Turn off the heat and add the miso and plant-based butter
  5. Stir until melted through and place to the side while you finish the rest.
 
Prepare the Cheesesteak:
  1. Heat the oil at a medium heat in a skillet and add the onions then bell peppers
  2. Cook until they start to soften, then add your plant-based beef
  3. Continue to cook and leave it undisturbed so a ‘crust’ forms (the best part of a cheesesteak!)
 
To Assemble:
  1. Heat a pan over medium heat
  2. Slice the baguette in half at the sides but not completely through
  3. Add the vegan butter to the heated pan and then the baguettes, cut side down, and toast until browned
  4. Take one roll and spread with some of the vegan cheese sauce
  5. Fill with half the cheesesteak mix then top with more cheese sauce
  6. Repeat with the second roll and serve immediately.
