Ingredients
- 8 oz, thinly sliced ribeye steak
- 1, 8-inch hoagie roll
- 1/2 medium, sliced into strips green bell pepper
- 1/2 medium, sliced thin yellow onion
- 3 slices provolone cheese slices
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 medium sliced yellow onion and 1/2 medium sliced green bell pepper, sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
- Step 2: Remove vegetables and add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet. Increase heat to high and add 8 oz thinly sliced ribeye steak seasoned with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp garlic powder. Sear for 2-3 minutes until browned but still tender.
- Step 3: Return the sautéed onions and peppers to the skillet with the steak, stir for 1 minute to combine and heat through.
- Step 4: Slice 1 hoagie roll lengthwise without cutting through, layer the steak mixture evenly inside, then top with 3 slices of provolone cheese.
