Philly Cheese Steak Sliders

Makes 4

Ingredients:

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 medium onion, sliced

1 medium red bell pepper, sliced

8 ounces sliced mushrooms

1 tablespoon fresh oregano, finely chopped (or 1 tsp. dried oregano leaves)

Sea salt (or Himalayan salt) and ground black pepper (to taste; optional)

12 ounces raw lean beef sirloin, sliced very thin

¼ cup sliced banana or cherry peppers (optional)

4 thinly sliced pieces of provolone cheese

4 small slider rolls, split and toasted

Directions:

1. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet (or griddle) over medium-high heat.

2. Add onion and bell pepper; cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until onions are

soft. Add mushrooms and oregano. Season with salt and pepper if desired; cook, stirring

frequently, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until mushrooms are soft.

3. Add sirloin; cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until beef is cooked through. Top

for 1 to 2 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Why This Pairs Beautifully with Russian River Valley Pinot Noir:

·      Lean beef matches Pinot’s tannin level

·      Mushrooms amplify the wine’s earthy, umami character

·      Onions and red bell pepper, once sautéed, add gentle sweetness that complements Pinot’s red fruit

·      Fresh oregano ties into Pinot’s subtle herbal notes

·      Provolone is mild and creamy which complements and rounds out the acidity without competing
