Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 pounds Top sirloin steak or Ribeye, trimmed and sliced very thin
Produce:
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- ½ teaspoon minced garlic
- 4 oz sliced mushrooms
Dairy and Bread:
- 8 slices mild provolone cheese
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 hoagie rolls, sliced through
Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons coarse Kosher salt, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
Instructions
- Trim 2 pounds of top sirloin or ribeye into whisper-thin slices, ensuring each piece is nearly translucent for tender bites.
- Chop 1 yellow onion, 1 green bell pepper, and 1 red bell pepper into uniform bite-sized pieces that will cook evenly.
- Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat (425°F) until the oil shimmers and just starts to smoke.
- Quickly sear steak slices for 90 seconds, stirring constantly, until edges turn golden brown and meat develops a beautiful caramelized exterior.
- Remove steak from skillet, transfer to a plate, and keep warm while maintaining skillet temperature.
- Add 4 ounces sliced mushrooms to the same skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.
- Introduce chopped onions and peppers to the skillet, sautéing for 5-6 minutes at medium-high heat (375°F) until vegetables become soft and slightly charred.
- Sprinkle ½ teaspoon minced garlic over vegetables, stirring to prevent burning and release aromatic flavors.
- Return steak to skillet, combining with vegetables and seasoning with 2 teaspoons kosher salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- Split 4 hoagie rolls, spreading 1 tablespoon softened butter on each interior surface.
- Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise across buttered roll surfaces for extra richness.
- Layer steak and vegetable mixture generously onto each roll.
- Top each sandwich with 2 slices of mild provolone cheese.
- Place sandwiches under broiler at 500°F for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully until cheese melts and edges become golden.
Notes
- Slice the beef against the grain for maximum tenderness and easier chewing.
- Use a very hot cast iron skillet to get a perfect sear on the steak, creating delicious caramelized edges.
- Choose a high-quality provolone or white American cheese for authentic Philly flavor that melts smoothly.
- If avoiding gluten, swap hoagie rolls for lettuce wraps or gluten-free rolls to make the sandwich diet-friendly.
