Sirloin Steak Philly Cheesesteak Sub

Sirloin steak, thinly sliced, makes an excellent filling for a Philly cheesesteak sub thanks to its tenderness and beefy flavour. Combined with sautéed onions and peppers and melted cheese, it’s a classic sandwich that works great as a casual lunch or dinner. You can customize the toppings or add sauces like mayo or hot sauce for a personal touch.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450g) sirloin steak, thinly sliced against the grain

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 large onion, thinly sliced

• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• 4 hoagie or sub rolls (about 6-8 inches each)

• 8 slices of provolone or American cheese

• Optional: mayonnaise, hot sauce, or ketchup for serving

Instructions:

1. Prep the steak:
   Freeze the sirloin steak for about 30 minutes beforehand to firm it up — this makes it easier to slice thinly. Slice as thin as possible against the grain.

2. Cook the vegetables:
   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and bell peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Add minced garlic during the last minute. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Cook the steak:
   Increase heat to medium-high and add sliced steak to the skillet (add a little more oil if needed). Spread it out in an even layer and cook without stirring for 2 minutes to get a good sear. Then stir and cook until just browned but still tender, about 2-3 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Combine:
   Return cooked onions and peppers to the skillet with the steak. Stir to combine and heat through.

5. Assemble subs:
   Preheat the broiler. Divide the steak and veggie mixture evenly among the sub rolls. Layer 2 slices of cheese on each. Place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Seasoning & Serving:

Add any optional condiments like mayo or hot sauce, and pair with side servings of crispy fries, homemade chips or a fresh side salad. Serve hot and enjoy!
