Ingredients
-
4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided (or as needed)
-
1 sweet yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced (2-inch slices)
-
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
2½ to 3 pounds petite sirloin, thinly sliced sirloin
-
1 ½ teaspoons Lawry’s Seasoned Salt, or other all-purpose seasoning, divided
-
1 teaspoon garlic pepper, divided
-
8 hoagie rolls
-
6 tablespoons softened butter
-
7 ounces sliced Provolone cheese
Instructions
-
Place beef in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes to make slicing easier.
-
Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to a large sauté pan over MEDIUM-LOW heat. Add onion and bell peppers, cook until tender, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a dish and set aside.
-
Remove steak from freezer, trim fat, and slice thinly across the grain. Chop into ¼-inch pieces.
-
Return skillet to MEDIUM-HIGH heat, add oil. Cook steak in two batches for 4-5 minutes each, stirring frequently, until no pink remains. Season each batch with ¾ teaspoon seasoned salt and ½ teaspoon garlic pepper. Transfer cooked steak to the dish with vegetables, leaving juices in the pan.
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
-
Split hoagie rolls (do not separate), spread with softened butter, and toast in the oven for 3-5 minutes until lightly golden.
-
Drain juices from the pan and return to stove. Add back steak and vegetables. Top with provolone cheese slices in a circle, cover, and cook on MEDIUM until cheese melts (4-5 minutes). Stir to combine.
-
Use tongs to fill toasted hoagie rolls with the cheesesteak mixture. Serve immediately.
Notes
-
Variations: Add mushrooms, use different cheeses like American cheese or mozzarella blend.
-
Tips: Freezing beef slightly before slicing makes it easier to cut thinly. Toasting hoagie rolls prevents sogginess.
