Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 medium thinly sliced yellow onion, 1 medium thinly sliced green bell pepper, and 1 medium thinly sliced red bell pepper, sautéing for 5-6 minutes until softened and edges begin to caramelize.
2. Step 2: Remove the peppers and onions from the skillet and set aside. Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet, then add 10 oz thinly sliced ribeye steak seasoned with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp garlic powder. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through.
3. Step 3: Return the sautéed peppers and onions to the skillet with the beef, stirring to combine. Lower heat to medium, then layer 3 slices of provolone cheese evenly over the mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.
4. Step 4: While the cheese melts, toast 1 hoagie roll split in half until lightly golden. Spoon the cheesy beef and pepper mixture into the roll halves and serve immediately for a satisfying Philly cheesesteak experience.
