Servings 4 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 4 long sandwich rolls, toasted
- 4 tbsp salted butter, divided
- garlic powder, to taste (optional)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 lb skirt steak, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 - 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 8 slices of sharp provolone cheese
Instructions
PREP INSTRUCTIONS
- Sprinkle the skirt steak on all sides with the salt and pepper. Freeze for about 45 minutes. This will make it easier to slice later.
- Slice each roll lengthwise in half. Spread 1 tbsp of butter onto each roll. Add garlic powder, to taste, if using.
- Dice the onion and pepper into a large bowl. Set aside.
- Remove the skirt steak from the freezer. Going against the grain of the beef, slice the steak as as thinly as you can. It’s okay if the meat shreds a little. Set aside.
- Place a large skillet over high heat. Toast the rolls on the hot skillet, buttered side down, until brown and crispy. Remove toasted rolls to a plate and let cool.
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
- Add olive oil to the same skillet and place over medium-high heat.
- Add the diced onions and peppers to the skillet. Cook about 10-15 minutes, until browned and softened.
- Add the sliced beef in a single, even layer to skillet on top of the peppers and onions. Cook beef for 2 minutes one side.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce to the skillet and toss with ingredients to combine. Cook the beef until it's no longer pink and is cooked through, stirring occasionally, about 3-4 more minutes.
- Turn the burner off but leave the skillet on the stove. Divide the beef in the skillet into 4 equal portions. Place slices of cheese on each portion in single layer and cover skillet with a lid to melt the cheese.
- Use a large spatula to remove each portion of cheesesteak from the skillet and place on your toasted bun. Serve cheesesteak sandwiches immediately.
