Method

Prep the Beef

  1. 1

    Season the Beef

    In a bowl, season the sliced sirloin with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to ensure the beef is evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Sear the Beef

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned sirloin to the skillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare the Au Jus

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a pot, combine the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

  2. 4

    Simmer

    Allow the broth mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to combine flavors.

Assemble the Hoagies

  1. 5

    Prepare the Hoagie Rolls

    Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Open them up gently.

    Fill the Rolls
