Ingredients Overview

• Steak: Ribeye or sirloin for tender, flavorful slices.
• Vegetables: Onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms for a savory mix.
• Cheese: Provolone or your favorite melting cheese.
• Bread: Hoagie rolls for the perfect sandwich base.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

For the Filling

• 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak (thinly sliced)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion (sliced)
• 1 green bell pepper (sliced)
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Sandwiches

• 4 hoagie rolls (split and toasted)
• 8 slices provolone cheese

For Garnish

• Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1: Cook the Steak

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until browned but not fully cooked. Remove the steak and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and slightly caramelized. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3: Combine and Melt Cheese

Return the steak to the skillet and toss with the vegetables. Divide the mixture into four portions and top each with 2 slices of provolone cheese. Cover the skillet and let the cheese melt, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4: Assemble the Sandwiches

Scoop the steak and vegetable mixture into the toasted hoagie rolls. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
