- ¼ teaspoon salt -divided
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (6 inch) hoagie roll
- 1 ½ tablespoons salted butter -divided

- ½ small green bell pepper -thinly sliced (2.5 oz/74 grams)
- 1 clove garlic -sliced
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 2 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Prep the Steak: Place the steak in the freezer for 15–20 minutes until firm but not frozen. This makes it easier to slice.
- Slice and Season: Cut the steak into very thin strips, about ⅛-inch thick. Season with ⅛ teaspoon of salt and ⅛ teaspoon of black pepper, then set aside.
- Toast the Hoagie Roll: Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Slice the roll open lengthwise, keeping one side intact.
- Butter and Toast: Place the roll on a baking sheet lined with parchment or foil. Dot the inside with ½ tablespoon of butter and bake for about 5 minutes, until toasted. Remove and cover to keep warm.
- Cook the Vegetables: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, bell peppers, and ⅛ teaspoon of of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the sliced garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Transfer the vegetables to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Cook the Steak: Heat the oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced steak in an even layer. Cook for 1–2 minutes per side until fully cooked.
- Combine: Return the vegetables to the skillet and stir to mix with the steak.
- Melt the Cheese: Lay provolone slices over the steak and vegetables. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the cheese melt for 1–2 minutes.
- Assemble: Use a spatula to scoop the cheesy steak and vegetables onto the toasted hoagie roll. Serve immediately.
