Steak and Cheese Sandwiches

4 Stars
We love The Italian Place steak and cheese sandwiches and thought we'd try making our own.
My husband was the cook on this one, for the most part anyway.  Our 4 year old wouldn't eat it,
I think he ate the bun and that's it.  Oh well, the rest of us liked it.

Ingredients
  • THINLY sliced steak - I used top round, partly because it's inexpensive and partly because there wasn't a lot of fat.  I asked the meat dept at our grocery store to slice it for me and they did with no problem.
  • Green bell pepper, thinly sliced.
  • Onion, thinly sliced (I left this out because we aren't onion fans)
  • Tomatoes (again, thinly sliced)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper
  • Provolone cheese
  • Hoagie buns (good ones from the bakery, this makes a big difference!)
Instructions
  1. Heat a frying pan on medium high heat
  2. Add about 2 tbsp of olive oil
  3. Add green pepper and onions and cook until soft, about 6 mins.
  4. Add minced garlic and cook maybe 1 min.
  5. Add steak and cook until done, about 5-8 mins.  You can cut up the meat while it cooks.
  6. Add salt and plenty of pepper while cooking.
  7. Add sliced tomatoes to the meat, pepper mixture and warm.
  8. Make sure you have a GOOD hoagie roll
  9. Add meat mixture and top with provolone cheese
Another option instead of the provolone cheese is to add some cream cheese to the meat at the end of cooking and let it melt in.
