Steps
Start by prepping the vegetables. Slice the green bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp of butter and 1 Tbsp cooking oil. Once the skillet is hot add in the sliced mushrooms. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the mushrooms start to soften.
Next add in the sliced onions and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 3 minutes or until the veggies have softened. Remove all the vegetables from the skillet to a separate plate and set aside.
In the same skillet add 1 Tbsp butter and 1 Tbsp cooking oil. Add the shaved beef steak to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through.
Now add the sautéed peppers, onions, and mushrooms back to the skillet with the steak, then add in the salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and worcestershire sauce. Stir and cook for 1-2 minute to allow the vegetables to heat back up.
Spread the provolone cheese slices on top of the beef and vegetables in the skillet. Turn the heat off. Allow the residual heat to melt the cheese.
While the steak is cooking or while the cheese is melting, go ahead and toast the hoagie rolls. Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180C / 160C fan or Gas Mark 4 . Place 5 rolls on a baking sheet, spread the remaining 2 Tbsp (30g) of softened butter inside the hoagie rolls, and toast in the oven for a few minutes until golden brown. Make sure to keep an eye on them. Once toasted, remove the sheet pan from the oven and set the rolls to the side.
Fill each hoagie roll evenly with the steak and cheese mixture. Serve these sandwiches with your favorite spreads and toppings like mayo, shredded lettuce, tomato, or sliced jalapeños. Enjoy!

Chris on 2026-03-22 (5 stars): Loved it!
Ana* on 2025-12-23 (3 stars): I made the recipe exactly as written. Ehhhh, this is pretty mid overall. Not bad. Not great either. Tastewise: it's just okay. Nothing to write home about. I thought it was missing some key flavors. I thought 4 tablespoons of cooking fat was overkill and absolutely ridiculous. You don't need 1/4th cup of oil and butter for such low volume. You could probably just get away with 1 tbsp total for the veggies and 1/2 tbsp for the meat. I also think 2oz portion of meat (for 6 buns) is way too little protein for any adult. This is more of a 4 portion kind of recipe. I do love that you can whip this up in about 15-20 minutes, depending on how long it takes you to dice an onion and mushroom. Would I make this again for myself? Yeah, probably once in a while. Would I make this as a meal to serve to guests or to someone I'm trying to impress? Absolutely not.
Katie on 2025-11-28 (5 stars): I'm teaching my oldest kids to cook using your website. I asked my kids to pick out the recipes they wanted to make and my son chose this recipe as his first "go". It was simple, easy, and delicious. I love that you added veggies - I coudn't care less if it's PERFECTLY authentic - it's DELICIOUS. Whole fam agreed - must make it again. My son gained a bit of swagger with this hit and confidence in the kitchen. Thank you! I love your recipes!!!

Casey Tkacz on 2025-01-21 (5 stars): I subbed the steak for a poud of ground beef I had in the freezer and didnt have any mushrooms so I threw in a second green pepper. Turned out fantastic!
Tammy on 2025-01-11 (5 stars): Just made. Easy and delicious. Will make again.

O on 2024-10-05 (5 stars): Simple and really good!
Amanda on 2024-09-24 (5 stars): I made this using leftovers from a basic pressure cooked shredded beef roast. It was great.
Kelly on 2024-09-22 (5 stars): Delicious and super easy to make!
Karen J on 2024-09-21 (5 stars): I shaved a sirloin steak and salt and peppered it an hour before cooking. Instead of putting the provolone in the skillet to melt, I put the meat/pepper/onion mixture on the toasted buns then added the provolone and melted it under the broiler for a few minutes. I knew I was going to have leftovers and this way I could put "fresh" cheese on when I made new sandwiches. I'm thinking of dipping in au jus next time. I've never had a "real" philly cheesesteak sandwich and thought this was delicious.
AJ on 2024-09-21 (5 stars): Really good timing on this! I had basically everything on hand, including some mushrooms that were on the edge and needed using. I ended up making my own rolls, so this was just a lovely, nice project for the day. Thank you!! This was really good.
