Ingredients

1/2 lb steak, thinly sliced
1/4 onion, sliced
1/4 bell pepper, sliced
4 hoagie rolls
4 slices provolone cheese, sliced

Instructions

1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2

Add a small amount of oil to the skillet.
3

Add 1/4 sliced onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
4

Add 1/4 sliced bell pepper and continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes until vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized.
5

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet.
6

Add 1/2 lb thinly sliced steak to the empty side of the skillet.
7

Cook the steak for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown.
8

For food safety, ensure the steak reaches an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, or cook longer for desired doneness.
9

Mix the steak with the sautéed vegetables and season with salt and pepper to taste.
10

While the steak is cooking, lightly toast 4 hoagie rolls if desired.
11

Divide the steak and vegetable mixture evenly among the hoagie rolls.
12

Top each sandwich with 4 slices sliced provolone cheese.
13

To melt the cheese, either place the sandwiches under a broiler for 1-2 minutes, or cover the skillet (with sandwiches) for a minute until cheese melts.
14

Serve immediately while hot.
