Ingredients
- 1 lb ribeye steak, thinly sliced (or sirloin for a leaner option)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- ½ green bell pepper, sliced
- ½ yellow bell pepper, sliced
- ½ red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 4 slices provolone cheese (or American or Cheez Whiz for classic Philly style)
- 2 hoagie rolls, split and lightly toasted
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Steak
- If using ribeye or sirloin, place it in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up (this makes slicing easier).
- Slice the steak as thinly as possible, cutting against the grain for tenderness.
- Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder, then set aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Peppers & Onions
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced onions and bell peppers and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened and slightly caramelized.
- Add garlic, stir for 30 seconds, then remove the mixture from the pan and set aside.
Step 3: Cook the Steak
- In the same skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over high heat.
- Add the thinly sliced steak, spreading it out in an even layer.
- Let it sear for 1-2 minutes, then stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
Step 4: Melt the Cheese
- Reduce heat to low, then return the cooked peppers and onions to the pan.
- Stir everything together, then top with provolone slices and let them melt over the steak.
Step 5: Assemble the Sandwiches
- Lightly toast the hoagie rolls with a little butter.
- Fill each roll with the cheesy steak, peppers, and onions.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
