Philly Steak Pretzel Sammie
An homage to the famous Philly cheesesteak on a glorious soft and salty pretzel bun. Assemble your sammies with steak hot off the grill, or whip ‘em up in minutes using leftovers—they’ll taste great served cold as well! Lean cuts of beef are a good source of protein, iron, zinc and Vitamin B12, and sandwiches are a great way to sneak extra veggies into your diet.
