Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Thinly slice the onion and bell pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and caramelized. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Cooking the Steak

  1. 3

    Cook the Shaved Steak

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the shaved steak, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for about 3-5 minutes until browned and cooked through.

  2. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    Once the steak is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Layer the provolone cheese over the steak, cover the skillet, and let it sit for 2-3 minutes until the cheese has melted.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Take the sub rolls and fill each with the steak and melted cheese mixture. Top with the sautéed onions and peppers.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve the steak and cheese sandwiches hot, optionally with additional condiments or hot sauce on the side.
