Ingredients

Scale

Proteins and Cheese

  • 8 oz thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak
  • 4 slices provolone cheese

Bread

  • 1 Italian roll (soft yet sturdy)

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup sliced hot cherry peppers
  • 1/2 cup sliced onions
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms

Cooking Fats & Seasonings

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter (for sautéing)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the Steak and Veggies: Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness. Clean and slice the bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions, preparing them for even cooking.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, bell peppers, hot cherry peppers, and mushrooms. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, caramelized, and fragrant, about 7-10 minutes.
  3. Cook the Steak: Increase the heat to medium-high in the same skillet. Add the sliced steak, cooking quickly and stirring frequently until browned but still juicy, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper during cooking.
  4. Assemble the Sandwich: Slice the Italian roll lengthwise, leaving one side intact to create a pocket. Layer the cooked steak, sautéed vegetables, and provolone cheese inside. The warmth of the filling will begin melting the cheese.
  5. Toast the Sandwich: Place the assembled sandwich on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is lightly crisped. Alternatively, use a panini press to achieve a golden finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh peppers and mushrooms for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Slice steak thinly for quicker cooking and better texture.
  • Do not overload the sandwich to avoid sogginess or difficulty eating.
  • Toasting adds a delightful crunchy contrast to tender fillings.
  • For extra melty cheese, cover the skillet briefly while cooking the steak.
