Ingredients
For the Steak Filling:
-
1 ½ lbs shaved beef steak (or thinly sliced sirloin)
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
1 tbsp butter
-
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
-
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
-
1 tsp Italian seasoning
-
½ tsp salt
-
½ tsp black pepper
-
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
For the Sandwich Assembly:
-
4 hoagie or sub rolls (toasted if preferred)
-
8 slices provolone cheese
-
2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional)
-
1 tbsp butter (for toasting rolls)
Instructions
Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add sliced onions, peppers, and mushrooms. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and starting to caramelize.
Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Transfer veggies to a bowl and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Steak
In the same skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium-high heat.
Add the shaved beef steak and season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using.
Cook for 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the steak is browned and cooked through.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, then return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet.
Toss everything together until well mixed and heated through. Reduce heat to low.
Step 3: Toast the Rolls (Optional but Recommended)
Spread a little butter on the inside of each roll and toast on a griddle or skillet until golden brown.
You can also place them under a broiler for 1–2 minutes—watch carefully!
Step 4: Assemble the Sandwiches
Spread a thin layer of mayo inside each roll, if using.
Layer 2 slices of provolone cheese inside each roll.
Fill each roll generously with the hot steak and veggie mixture.
Place sandwiches on a sheet pan and broil for 1–2 minutes, just until the cheese melts and everything is hot.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Serve hot with your favorite side—fries, chips, or a simple salad work great.
Cut in half for easier handling, and enjoy every bite of that savory, cheesy goodness.
Notes
- Use Shaved Steak – Thin cuts cook fast and are ideal for sandwiches.
- Toast the Bread – Adds texture and prevents sogginess from the filling.
- Don’t Overcook the Meat – Steak can dry out quickly; cook just until browned.
- Layer Cheese Under the Meat – Helps the cheese melt better and coats the bread for extra flavor.
- Make it Spicy – Add jalapeños or hot sauce for a fiery twist.
