Scale
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 1/2 sweet onion, thinly sliced (208g)
- 1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced (91g)
- 1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced (85g)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
- 1 pound sirloin steak, thinly sliced (454g)
- 4 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise (284g)
- 4 (1-ounce) slices provolone cheese (113g)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven
Preheat the oven to 400°F. This step ensures that the oven is ready for toasting the hoagie rolls later in the recipe. - Cook the vegetables
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell peppers, ½ teaspoon each of garlic powder and salt, and ¼ teaspoon of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, until the vegetables are brown and caramelized. Remove the skillet from the heat and place the vegetables on a plate. - Season the steak
In a medium bowl, season the steak with the remaining 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Toss it to coat evenly with the seasoning. - Cook the steak
To the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and heat it over high heat. Add the steak and spread it into an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until the steak is browned, about 1½ minutes. Flip the pieces and cook until they are cooked through, about 1 more minute. Stir in vegetables to rewarm. Remove the skillet from the heat. - Toast the rolls
Meanwhile, open the rolls and place them cut side up on a baking sheet. Bake until they are lightly toasted, about 8 minutes. Remove them from the oven. - Melt the cheese
Divide the steak and vegetable mixture into 4 piles in the pan. Top each one with a slice of cheese. Cover and let the cheese melt for 2 to 3 minutes. (Return to low heat if necessary). - Assemble the sandwiches
Place one section of meat and melted cheese into each of the rolls. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Slice the steak very thin for optimal tenderness and quick cooking.
- Avoid overcooking the steak to maintain a moist, tender texture.
- Caramelize the vegetables thoroughly for enhanced flavor.
- Toast the hoagie buns for a sturdier base and improved texture.
- Only toast the number of buns needed if not serving all four sandwiches immediately.
