Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Filling

    • 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)

For the Assembly

  • 4 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise (284g)
  • 4 (1-ounce) slices provolone cheese (113g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Cook 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Toast 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.
  6. Assemble Sandwiches: 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.
  7. Serve: Place one section of meat and melted cheese into each of the rolls. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Slice the steak very thin. This ensures the meat cooks quickly, evenly, and remains tender.
  • Avoid overcooking the steak to maintain a moist, tender texture. Overcooking can make the meat tough and dry.
  • Caramelize the veggies to enhance their flavor. Cook them slowly until golden brown for a sweet, rich taste.
  • Toast the hoagie rolls to create a sturdier base that holds the steak mixture and enhances the sandwich’s texture.
  • Only toast the number of rolls needed when serving fresh for the best experience.
