Ingredients
Scale

- For the Sandwiches:
- 4 hoagie rolls or sandwich buns
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- Optional: Pickled jalapeños for extra heat
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Steak:
- Place the steak in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm it up (this makes slicing easier).
- Thinly slice the steak across the grain and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
2️⃣ Sauté the Vegetables:
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
- Remove the veggies from the skillet and set aside.
3️⃣ Cook the Steak:
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over high heat.
- Add the sliced steak and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.
- Return the sautéed peppers and onions to the skillet and toss to combine.
4️⃣ Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Preheat your oven broiler to high.
- Slice the hoagie rolls and place them on a baking sheet.
- Fill each roll with the steak, peppers, and onions mixture.
- Top with 2 slices of provolone cheese per sandwich.
5️⃣ Melt the Cheese:
- Place the sandwiches under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
6️⃣ Serve:
- Remove the sandwiches from the oven and serve hot.
- Add pickled jalapeños for an extra spicy kick if desired.
