3. Cook the Vegetables:
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the sliced onion and green bell pepper. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Combine Steak and Vegetables:
Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the onions and peppers. Mix everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5. Assemble the Philly Cheesesteaks:
Preheat your oven’s broiler.
Open the hoagie rolls and lay them on a baking sheet.
Divide the steak and vegetable mixture evenly among the rolls.
Top each sandwich with 2 slices of provolone cheese.
Place the sandwiches under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Serving:
Remove the sandwiches from the oven. If desired, you can spread some mayonnaise on the top half of the rolls or add a drizzle of ketchup.
Close the sandwiches and serve immediately.
