Recipe: Texas-Style Philly Cheesesteak Hoagie

Ingredients:

• 1 pound thinly sliced ribeye steak
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)
• 4 hoagie rolls
• 8 slices provolone or American cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise (optional)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. If you like a bit of spice, toss in the sliced jalapeños during the last couple of minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, add butter and let it melt. Add the thinly sliced ribeye steak, seasoning it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until the meat is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet and stir everything together.
3. Preheat your oven to broil. Slice the hoagie rolls open and spread a light layer of mayonnaise on each side (if using). Pile the steak and vegetable mixture into each hoagie roll, then place two slices of provolone or American cheese on top of the steak.
4. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Be sure to watch them closely so the bread doesn’t burn.
5. Remove the hoagies from the oven, serve hot, and enjoy a true taste of Texas with every bite.
