Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 4 hoagie rolls
- Turkey bacon optional, cooked and crumbled for added flavor
Instructions
Prepare the Vegetables and Meat
- Begin by thinly slicing the onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Ensure the beef is sliced as thin as possible.
Cook the Turkey Bacon (Optional)
- If using, cook turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels and crumble into small pieces.
Sauté the Vegetables
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and bell peppers, season with salt and pepper, and cook until onions are golden and peppers soften, about 5-7 minutes.
Cook the Beef
- Push vegetables to the side, increase heat to high, add beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Mix beef with vegetables.
Melt the Cheese
- Lower heat to medium, spread beef and vegetable mixture evenly, lay provolone slices on top, cover skillet for 1-2 minutes to melt cheese.
Assemble the Sandwiches
- Slice hoagie rolls lengthwise and warm if desired. Spoon cheesy beef mixture into rolls. Sprinkle crumbled turkey bacon if using. Serve immediately.
Equipment
- Large skillet or frying pan
- Sharp Knife
- Cutting Board
- Tongs or spatula
- Baking Sheet
Notes
- Partially freeze beef before slicing for thinner, more tender strips.
- Use mozzarella or cheddar cheese as tasty alternatives to provolone.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat in a skillet or oven to keep rolls crispy.
