NOTES

Thinly slice steak and vegetables and cook over medium-high heat. Think of the steak and veggies as a skillet and you’ll be amazed at the results.
Alcohol and its vapors are flammable. Turn off the heat and slowly add the brandy. Wait 1 to 2 minutes for the fumes to dissipate before reducing the heat again.It is always advisable to place a fire extinguisher approximately 30 feet away from your stove.
Beef broth can be used in place of the brandy, but please reduce it to half a cup.
Provel is a combination of Cheddar, Swiss and Provolone cheeses. Unless you live in the Midwest, it can be very difficult to find. A good substitute is provolone; However, you can certainly make your own cheese combination.Broilers are very unpredictable, so turn them on at a low setting if possible. Use my cooking times as a reference only, stay close and monitor the pan.
