Recipe description:

Ingredients:
- 1 beef Top Sirloin Steak Boneless, 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) thick (about 1 pound or 454 grams)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
- 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
- 4 whole-grain or whole wheat hoagie rolls, split, toasted
- 6 thin slices reduced-fat provolone cheese
Preparation:
- Cut beef Top Sirloin Steak lengthwise in half, then crosswise into 1/8-inch (0.4 cm) thick strips. Season beef with garlic powder and pepper. Set aside.
- Cook's Tip: You may freeze beef steak in resealable food-safe plastic bag 30 to 45 minutes or until firm, but not frozen solid for easier slicing.
- Heat 1 teaspoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add onion and pepper; stir-fry 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from skillet; keep warm.
- Cook's Tip: In some classic Philly Beef Cheese Steak Sandwiches, you'll find the addition of sautéed sliced mushrooms. You may add 8 ounces (227 grams) of sliced mushrooms and stir-fry with onion and pepper.
- Heat 1/2 teaspoon oil in same skillet until hot. Add half of beef; stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes or until outside surface of beef is no longer pink. Remove from skillet; keep warm. Repeat with remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil and remaining beef.
- Cook's Tip: To grill, keep steak whole and season with garlic powder and pepper as directed in step 1. Place steak on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 7 to 11 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, 8 to 13 minutes) for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning once.
- Return beef and vegetables to skillet; cook and stir until heated through. Season with salt and pepper, as desired. Top beef with cheese slices. Heat, covered, 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted; stir gently to mix. Place beef mixture on bottom half of rolls. Close sandwiches.
- Cook's Tip:
- The sandwiches can be topped with chopped tomatoes, if desired.
- You may substitute your favorite prepared cheese sauce for provolone cheese.
The sautéed bell pepper may be served on top of the beef instead of mixed with the beef. - You may broil sandwiches filled with beef and vegetable mixture, topped with cheese slices for 2 minutes on HIGH or until cheese is melted and begins to brown.
