Vegan Subway Steak & Cheese Sub Copycat

This plant based steak & cheese sub is a subway copycat inspired by the main flavours of the iconic philly cheesesteak.

The heart of the Steak and Cheese sub from Subway is, of course, is the steak. Subway uses thinly sliced, seasoned beef that’s cooked to tender perfection. The steak is sautéed with a special blend of seasonings that adds depth and flavour without overwhelming the palate.

In this vegan version, we will be using plant-based steak pieces by Juicy Marbles (gifted, not sponsored).

But no steak and cheese sub would be complete without the cheese. Subway uses a generous portion of melted American cheese, which adds a rich, creamy texture. As the cheese melts over the hot steak, it creates a gooey, texture that balances out the steak. We will be using vegan smoked applewood cheese as the substitute here.

Tailor Your Sub

One of the joys of ordering from Subway is the ability to personalise your sub to suit your taste and preferences. Here’s how you can make a plant-based Steak and Cheese sub at home:

• Bread Choices: Choose from a variety of bread options, a vegan hoagie roll or french baguette if you can’t access the former.
• Fresh Toppings: Add a crunch with fresh vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers. For extra flavour, you could even add onions, pickles, or jalapeños.
• Sauces and Condiments: Enhance your sub with a range of sauces and condiments – like mayo, bbq, or chili sauces!
• Extra Additions: Feeling extra hungry? Add more vegan cheese or a double serving of plant-based steak.
