We’re gonna whip up some extremely simple Philly Cheesesteak Subs because who does not love a savory, meaty, cheesy carb canoe? No one.
This is not an Aldi ad, but this thinly sliced beef came from Aldi: Black Angus Thinly Sliced Beef for Carna Asada. I had to do nothing except add some dried ranch seasoning, garlic and onion powders and a pinch of salt. Toss it all with your fingers.
If you can’t find this, buy some sirloin or flank and thinly slice it!
Slice some red onions and dice a couple of green bell peppers, too.
The steak goes in first for a heavy sear. Then she gets moved out so the onions and peppers can sauté and create the most heavenly fragrance in your kitchen and home and life.
Layer Swiss cheese slices over the top, off the heat and watch it all melt.
We’ll scoop the cheesy beefy mix into toasted hoagie buns and sing its praises.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pound thinly sliced beef (black Angus is what I used)
- 1 Tbs. Ranch dressing mix
- 1 Tbs. Garlic powder
- 1 Tbs. Onion powder
- Pinch of salt
- 2-3 small red onions, peeled and sliced
- 2 green bell peppers, cored, seeded and diced
- 4-5 slices of Swiss cheese
- 4 hoagie buns, sliced and lightly toasted
Instructions
- Season the thinly sliced beef with the ranch mix, garlic and onion powders, and a pinch of salt. Toss with your fingers to coat all over.
- To a wide skillet, add a couple of Tbs. olive oil. Add the steak and sear on one side for two minutes. Toss the beef around to the other side and sear another two. You want it nice and browned all over and starting to crisp in places.
- Take the beef out of the pan and add another Tbs. of oil back in. Add a splash of water if needed to loosen the browned bits, then add the peppers and onions to the pan. Season with a pinch of salt and let this sauté for about five minutes on a medium heat, until the veggies take on a bit of color and get tender. Add the steak back in and use a hard spatula to mix it all together.
- Off the heat, layer the cheese slices over the top and cover with a lid. Let this sit about five minutes, until the cheese has melted all over the steak and veggies.
- Scoop the cheesy steak into toasted hoagie buns and serve with whatever you want!
- Makes 4 hefty sub sandwiches.
