We had this for dinner tonight and it's definitely a keeper! Wow, a vegan "philly cheese steak" sandwich made without any processed fake meats or cheese! The recipe came from Eating Well it was originally meat free so I took it a step further and made it dairy free as well. The sauce makes up for the missing cheese, we didn't miss it at all!
