Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 8 ounces provolone cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients by thinly slicing the beef sirloin against the grain into roughly 1/4-inch thick strips. Season the beef generously with salt and pepper.
- Slice the onion and bell pepper into thin, uniform strips. Set aside separately.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
- Add sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until they become soft and slightly caramelized. Remove vegetables and set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the seasoned beef slices. Cook quickly, stirring and turning the meat for 2-3 minutes until it's just browned and no longer pink.
- Return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet with the beef, mixing them together and heating through.
- Split the hoagie rolls and lightly toast them if desired. Place them on a baking sheet.
- Top the beef and vegetable mixture with slices of provolone cheese, allowing it to melt slightly from the residual heat.
- Carefully transfer the cheesy beef and vegetable mixture into each hoagie roll, ensuring an even distribution.
- Serve immediately while hot, optionally cutting the sandwiches in half for easier handling.
Tips
- Slice Against the Grain: For the most tender beef, make sure to slice the sirloin against the grain. This helps break down the muscle fibers, making each bite melt in your mouth.
- Sautéing Vegetables: Don’t rush the sautéing process! Allow the onions and bell peppers to caramelize slightly for added sweetness and flavor.
- High Heat for Quick Cooking: Cooking the beef over medium-high heat ensures it cooks quickly and retains its juiciness. Keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking.
- Cheese Melting Magic: For an extra cheesy experience, cover the skillet with a lid for a minute after adding the provolone cheese. This traps heat and helps the cheese melt perfectly.
- Toasting the Rolls: Lightly toasting the hoagie rolls adds a delightful crunch and prevents them from becoming soggy. A quick toast in the oven or on a skillet works wonders!
- Customize Your Sandwich: Feel free to add your favorite toppings like jalapeños, mushrooms, or a drizzle of hot sauce to personalize your cheese steak sandwiches!
