Philly Cheese-Steak Sausage Pepper Rolls
Ingredients
- 500g Philly Cheese-Steak Links
- 4 large bread rolls
- 2 bell peppers, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp red-wine vinegar
- 1 tsp neutral oil for the meat, if needed
Check the product label and the packaging of bread, sauces, stock and dairy for your dietary needs. This recipe is not an allergen-free claim.
Make the meal
- Prepare the sides alongside the meat. Leave warming bread and final assembly until the meat is ready.
- Pat the thawed links dry. Heat 1 tsp neutral oil in a heavy frying pan over medium-low to medium heat. Cook for about 15–20 minutes, turning with tongs every 2–3 minutes. Check the thickest centre with a thermometer: at least 72°C. Time varies with link thickness. Rest 2–3 minutes on a clean plate before slicing. Keep the cheese-filled casing intact while cooking.
- Soften the onions and peppers in oil for 12–15 minutes, stirring regularly. Add the vinegar and cook for 1 minute.
- Split and toast the bread rolls cut-side down in a dry pan for 1–2 minutes.
- Divide the cooked sausage links evenly among the rolls, slicing after cooking if necessary. Add the prepared topping.

Philly Cheese-Steak Sausage Mushroom Pasta
Ingredients
- 500g Philly Cheese-Steak Links
- 320g dried tagliatelle or short pasta
- 250g mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 150ml cooking cream
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- Black pepper
- 1 tsp neutral oil for the meat, if needed
Check the product label and the packaging of bread, sauces, stock and dairy for your dietary needs. This recipe is not an allergen-free claim.
Make the meal
- Start the sauce alongside the meat in a separate pan. Boil the pasta when the sauce is nearly ready, so it can go straight into the finished sauce.
- Pat the thawed links dry. Heat 1 tsp neutral oil in a heavy frying pan over medium-low to medium heat. Cook for about 15–20 minutes, turning with tongs every 2–3 minutes. Check the thickest centre with a thermometer: at least 72°C. Time varies with link thickness. Rest 2–3 minutes on a clean plate before slicing. Keep the cheese-filled casing intact while cooking.
- Boil the pasta according to its packet. Reserve 200ml of the cooking water.
- Heat the oil in a wide pan. Cook the onion for 5 minutes, add the prepared vegetable and cook for 8–10 minutes until tender and any released water has evaporated. Add the cream and simmer for 2 minutes.
- Cut the cooked links into thick pieces. Add to the sauce with the drained pasta, then toss with enough pasta water to make a coating rather than a pool.
- Fold in the herbs and grind over black pepper. Serve immediately.
