🛒 The Ingredients
The Filling:
- 400g Steak, cut into thin strips
- 1 Green Bell Pepper, sliced
- 1 Yellow Bell Pepper, sliced
- 1 Red Bell Pepper, sliced
- 1 Large Onion, cut into strips
The Base & Seasoning:
- 2 Long Sandwich Rolls (hoagie or baguette style), lightly toasted
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- Optional: Sliced cheese (Provolone or American) for an extra melty finish.
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Sauté the Vegetables
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of oil. Add the onions and the tricolor bell peppers. Sauté until the vegetables are tender but still have a slight “bite.” Remove from the pan and set aside.
2. Sear the Beef
In the same hot skillet, add a little more oil if needed and toss in the steak strips. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cook quickly for 2–3 minutes until browned and cooked through.
3. The Final Toss
Return the cooked peppers and onions to the skillet with the beef. Toss everything together for 1 minute to let the flavors meld. If using cheese, place slices over the mixture and allow them to melt briefly.
4. Assemble the Sandwich
Open your toasted rolls and pile them high with the steaming steak and colorful vegetable mixture. Serve immediately while the bread is warm and the filling is juicy.
