Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 sliced green bell pepper and 1 sliced yellow onion, sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened and edges start to caramelize.
  2. Step 2: Push the vegetables to the side and add 10 ounces thinly sliced ribeye steak to the skillet. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes until beef is browned and cooked through.
  3. Step 3: Mix the beef and vegetables together in the skillet, then layer 4 slices of provolone cheese evenly over the top. Reduce heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, preheat the oven broiler. Spread 2 tablespoons softened butter inside 2 large hoagie rolls, then place them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until toasted and golden.
  5. Step 5: Divide the beef, pepper, and onion mixture between the toasted hoagie rolls, spooning the melty provolone topping evenly. Serve immediately.
