Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:20 minutes
Total Time:35 minutes

Equipment

  • 12 inch cast iron skillet
  • Baking Sheet
  • Wooden spoon or spatula

Ingredients

Peppers & Onions

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon seasoning salt I use Lawry's
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Steak

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • pounds shaved ribeye steak
  • ½ teaspoon seasoning salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Assembly

  • 6-8 slices provolone cheese
  • 4-5 hoagie rolls

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Heat the oil. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers.
  • Cook the vegetables. Add the onion and both bell peppers, season with ½ teaspoon seasoning salt, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned on the edges.
  • Set aside. Transfer the cooked peppers and onions to a clean plate.
  • Reheat the skillet. Place the skillet back over high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Cook the beef. Add the shaved ribeye and pull it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Season with ½ teaspoon seasoning salt, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and the Worcestershire sauce, then sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until browned and fully cooked through.
  • Combine the filling. Turn off the heat, stir the cooked peppers and onions back into the beef, and spread the mixture into an even layer in the skillet.
  • Toast the rolls. Cut the hoagie rolls, place them cut-side up on a baking sheet, and bake for 4 to 5 minutes until warm and lightly toasted.
  • Melt the cheese. Lay the provolone slices across the top of the filling and cover the skillet with a lid or foil for 1 to 2 minutes, letting the residual heat melt the cheese.
  • Fill the rolls. Scoop the cheesy beef and vegetable filling into the toasted hoagie rolls and serve.

Notes

If your skillet can't hold all 1½ pounds of beef in a single layer, cook it in two batches with a little extra oil so it sears instead of steaming.
