Ingredients:
- 1 lb ribeye steak, thinly sliced (freeze for 30 minutes for easier slicing)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
- 6-8 slices provolone cheese (or Cheez Whiz for a traditional option)
- 4 hoagie rolls or sub rolls
Instructions:
- Prepare the Steak:
- Season the thinly sliced ribeye steak with salt and pepper. Set it aside while you prepare the vegetables.
- Sauté the Vegetables:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced green bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms (if using). Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set them aside.
- Cook the Steak:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the seasoned ribeye steak to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through.
- Combine Steak and Veggies:
- Return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet with the cooked steak. Stir to combine, then reduce the heat to low.
- Add the Cheese:
- Lay the slices of provolone cheese (or drizzle Cheez Whiz) over the steak and vegetable mixture.
- Cover the skillet for 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt over the steak and vegetables.
- Assemble the Sandwiches:
