- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Cooking and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 4 hoagie rolls
- Optional: Worcestershire sauce, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare a large skillet and warm olive oil over medium-high temperature, creating a perfect sautéing environment for vegetables.
- Introduce sliced onions and bell peppers into the hot skillet, allowing them to soften and caramelize, transforming into a golden, translucent mixture.
- Incorporate sliced mushrooms and minced garlic, continuing to cook until the mushrooms develop a rich, deep brown color and release their moisture completely.
- Season the vegetable medley with salt and pepper, ensuring a balanced and robust flavor profile.
- Relocate the vegetable mixture to one side of the skillet, creating space for the thinly sliced ribeye steak.
- Position the ribeye in the cleared skillet area, seasoning with salt, pepper, and optional Worcestershire sauce for enhanced depth.
- Swiftly cook the steak, stirring intermittently to achieve an even, appetizing brown exterior while maintaining tenderness.
- Merge the perfectly cooked steak with the sautéed vegetables, allowing the flavors to harmonize and intensify.
- Prepare hoagie rolls by carefully splitting them, creating a welcoming vessel for the savory filling.
- Generously layer the steak and vegetable mixture into each roll, ensuring an abundant and satisfying sandwich.
- Crown the filled rolls with provolone cheese slices, creating a luxurious, melty topping.
- Position the assembled sandwiches under the broiler, watching closely as the cheese transforms into a bubbling, golden blanket.
- Extract the sandwiches once the cheese reaches peak melting perfection, allowing a brief moment to cool before serving.
- Present the hot, aromatic Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches immediately, ready to delight eager diners.
Notes
- Slice steak against the grain for maximum tenderness and easier chewing.
- Pat the steak dry before cooking to ensure proper browning and prevent steaming.
- Use room temperature steak for more even cooking and better caramelization.
- Choose a well-marbled ribeye for richer flavor and juicier meat texture.
- Drain excess liquid from mushrooms to prevent soggy sandwich filling.
- Experiment with cheese varieties like white American or mild cheddar for different flavor profiles.
- Quickly sear steak at high heat to lock in juices and prevent overcooking.
- Toast hoagie rolls beforehand for extra crunch and to prevent sogginess.
