Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (453 grams) ribeye steak, thinly sliced (or flank steak)
Vegetables:
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (optional)
Bread and Cheese:
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 8 slices provolone cheese (or your favorite cheese)
Seasoning and Cooking Fat:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare a large skillet by heating olive oil over medium-high temperature, ensuring an even cooking surface for the meat.
- Add thinly sliced steak to the hot skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, continuously stirring to achieve uniform browning and thorough cooking.
- Transfer the cooked steak to a separate plate, keeping the flavorful meat ready for later assembly.
- Utilize the same skillet to sauté sliced onions and bell peppers, allowing them to soften and caramelize for approximately 5 minutes.
- Reintroduce the cooked steak into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables, gently mixing to integrate flavors and reheat the ingredients.
- Position oven rack near the broiler and preheat to high temperature.
- Arrange hoagie rolls on a baking sheet, generously filling each with the steak and vegetable mixture.
- Layer provolone cheese atop the filled rolls, ensuring complete coverage of the meat and vegetables.
- Slide the baking sheet under the broiler, monitoring closely for 2-3 minutes until cheese melts and develops a golden, bubbly texture.
- Carefully remove the sandwiches from the oven and serve immediately while hot and fresh.
Notes
- Choose lean cuts like sirloin or ribeye for the most tender and flavorful result, trimming excess fat before slicing thinly against the grain.
- Freeze the steak for 15-20 minutes before slicing to make cutting easier and achieve uniform, thin slices that cook quickly.
- Customize the sandwich by adding sautéed mushrooms or swapping provolone with American or Cheez Whiz for authentic Philadelphia-style flavor.
- For a lighter version, use whole wheat rolls, swap beef with chicken or portobello mushrooms, and reduce cheese quantity to lower calories and fat content.
