Ingredients
Method
Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables
- Start by dicing the green bell pepper and chopping the onion. Slice the mushrooms to make sure everything cooks evenly.
Step 2: Sauté the Veggies
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes. You want them to be tender and slightly caramelized. The aroma will waft through your kitchen.
Step 3: Cook the Beef
- In the same skillet, push the veggies to one side. Add the remaining butter and oil, then throw in the thinly sliced beef. Sprinkle the sea salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Allow it to cook for 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally until the beef is browned and cooked through.
Step 4: Flavor It Up
- Drizzle Worcestershire sauce over the cooked beef and veggies. This is your flavor booster! Stir well to combine everything.
Step 5: Melt the Cheese
- Once everything is nicely combined, place slices of provolone on top of the beef and cover with a lid. Let it sit for about 2 minutes or until the cheese is perfectly melted.
Step 6: Toast the Hoagie Rolls
- While the cheese melts, toast your hoagie rolls in the oven or on a hot skillet for a couple of minutes. You want them golden and crispy.
Step 7: Assemble the Cheesesteak
- Finally, load your hoagie rolls with the delicious beef, veggies, and gooey cheese mixture. Top with sliced pickled jalapeños if you crave a bit of heat.
Notes
- hoose the Right Cut of Beef: Ribeye offers great flavor, but flank steak can work too if thinly sliced.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Cook in batches if necessary. Browning helps develop extra flavor.
- Experiment with Cheese: While provolone is classic, consider adding some cheddar for an extra layer of taste.
- Season Generously: The seasoning plays a huge role. Don’t be shy with the salt and pepper.
- Serve Immediately: This cheesesteak is best served hot and fresh, to enjoy the melty cheese and warm ingredients.
