Don't leave cheesesteaks on the back burner. Bring them to the dinner table in this delicious, lightened recipe. Serve with a cucumber salad.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 sandwich)

Ingredients

  • 2  teaspoons  olive oil, divided
  • 12  ounces  top round steak, cut into thin strips
  • 1 1/2  cups  thinly vertically sliced Vidalia or other sweet onion

  • 1  cup  (4 ounces) shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
  • 4  (2-ounce) ciabatta rolls

Preparation
