Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) beef sirloin steak (thinly sliced)
Vegetables:
- 2 bell peppers (thinly sliced)
- 1 large onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
Liquid and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) beef broth
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) soy sauce
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
Bread and Cheese:
- 6–8 hoagie rolls
- 12–16 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Slice the beef sirloin steak, bell peppers, and onion into thin, uniform strips. Mince the garlic cloves finely to ensure even distribution of flavor.
- Generously season the beef slices with salt and black pepper, ensuring each piece is well-coated for maximum taste.
- Create a flavorful base in the slow cooker by spreading half of the sliced bell peppers and onions across the bottom. Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the vegetables.
- Arrange the seasoned beef slices carefully on top of the vegetable layer, creating an even distribution.
- Combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce in a mixing bowl. Slowly pour the liquid mixture over the beef and vegetables, ensuring complete coverage.
- Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook for 6-7 hours. The prolonged, gentle cooking will tenderize the beef and meld the flavors together.
- Once cooking is complete, preheat the oven broiler to high. Split hoagie rolls lengthwise and arrange on a baking sheet.
- Pile the slow-cooked beef, peppers, and onions generously onto each roll. Top with provolone cheese slices, covering the entire surface.
- Broil the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes at 500°F, watching carefully until the cheese melts and develops a golden, bubbly surface.
- Transfer the hot sandwiches to serving plates immediately. Pair with crispy potato chips, golden fries, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
Notes
- Choose a well-marbled sirloin or ribeye steak for maximum tenderness and rich flavor that melts in your mouth.
- Low and slow cooking breaks down tough muscle fibers, ensuring melt-in-your-mouth beef that’s incredibly juicy and packed with flavor.
- Swap provolone for Swiss, American, or classic Cheez Whiz to customize your sandwich’s taste and create a personalized experience.
- Prepare the filling a day ahead and store in the refrigerator, allowing flavors to develop and making mealtime preparation super quick and easy.
