Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 sweet yellow onion halved and thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
2 1/2 to 3 pounds petite sirloin thinly sliced
1 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt or another all-purpose seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic pepper
8 hoagie rolls
6 tablespoons softened butter
7 ounces sliced provolone cheese
- Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to a large, deep saute pan and place over MEDIUM-LOW heat. Add onion and bell peppers. Allow to cook, stirring occasionally. While the veggies are cooking, prepare the steak, returning to stir every now and then.
- Chop the sliced steak into very small pieces. You want little 1/4-inch-ish pieces. Check on those veggies periodically while you're prepping the beef.
When the veggies are tender, transfer them to a dish and return the skillet to the heat. Add additional oil and place over MEDIUM-HIGH heat. Add half of the chopped steak and cook, stirring frequently, for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until no pink remains. Season with 1/2 teaspoon each seasoned salt and garlic pepper while cooking. Transfer the first batch of steak with onions and peppers, leaving the juice behind in the pan. Add additional oil, and repeat with remaining steak and seasoning.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Split open the hoagies rolls but do not separate them. Spread them with the softened butter and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes or until lightly golden and toasted.
- Add back all of the steak and the onions and peppers. Place provolone slices over the mixture in a circle and cover the pan. Cook on MEDIUM until cheese melts, about 4 to 5 minutes, then stir and use tongs to transfer to the toasted sandwich rolls.

- Rub roast with olive oil and seasonings. Slice onions into thick rings (do not separate rings) and place them in the bottom of a dark pan.
- Place roast on top of onions. (You may not need all of them, you need the onions covered by the roast or they will burn).
- Roast at 450°F for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 300°F and roast until cooked to the desired temperature. (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium), about 90 minutes more.
- Remove from oven (a few degrees before it's done, I usually take mine out at about 142°F and loosely tent with foil. Let rest at least 20 minutes before slicing.
