Ingredients

Scale

Beef

  • 8 oz thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak

Cheese

  • 4 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

Vegetables

  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced

Bread

  • 2 hoagie rolls or sub buns

Fats & Oils

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter

Seasonings

  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients: Thinly slice the ribeye or sirloin steak against the grain to ensure tenderness. Slice the onion, bell pepper, and fresh mozzarella cheese into thin pieces. Having all ingredients ready before cooking makes the process smoother.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, cooking them gently for 7-10 minutes until they soften and caramelize slightly, developing natural sweetness that balances the meat.
  3. Cook the Steak: Push the sautéed veggies to one side of the pan and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the thinly sliced steak seasoned with garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir frequently as you cook the beef for 3-4 minutes until browned but still juicy.
  4. Melt the Mozzarella: Evenly spread the slices of mozzarella over the cooked steak and vegetables. Cover the skillet for 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt fully, binding all ingredients together for a creamy texture.
  5. Assemble the Sandwiches: Slice the hoagie rolls open and optionally toast them lightly for extra texture. Then fill each roll generously with the cheesy steak and vegetable mixture. Serve immediately for the best gooey, hearty sandwich experience.

Notes

  • Use room temperature steak to ensure even cooking and tenderness.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook the steak in batches if necessary to form a nice crust.
  • Sauté onions and bell peppers slowly to bring out their natural sweetness.
  • Use fresh mozzarella cheese rather than pre-shredded for creamier melting results.
  • Cover the pan gently after adding cheese to help it melt evenly and avoid rubberiness.
