This recipe features thinly sliced steak cooked with onions, peppers, and mushrooms, all smothered in melted cheese and served on toasted hoagie bread. It’s a hearty and satisfying dish, perfect for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients:

• Vegetable Oil: Used for sautéing the onions, peppers, mushrooms, and steak.
• Onions, Green Pepper, Red Pepper, Mushrooms: Thinly sliced vegetables that add flavor and texture to the sandwich.
• Steak: Rib steak or sirloin, thinly sliced for quick cooking and tender texture.
• Salt and Pepper: For seasoning the steak and vegetables.
• White Cheese (Kraft processed cheese) or Provolone Slices: Melty cheese that adds creaminess and richness to the sandwich.
• Hoagie Breads or Small Baguettes: Used as the base for the sandwich.

Instructions:

1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium.
2. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook for a minute before adding the green and red peppers, and mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
3. Add the thinly sliced steak to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes, or until the meat is slightly browned. Season with salt and pepper.
