Instructions

Prep The Veggies:

Slice the mushrooms bell pepper and onion into thin even pieces so they cook uniformly. This also helps build the flavor layers in the sandwich.

Cook Mushrooms:

Heat one tablespoon of butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for two to three minutes until they start to brown and release their juices. Remove mushrooms to a bowl so they don’t overcook.

Cook Peppers And Onions:

In the same skillet add the sliced onions and green bell peppers. Sauté for about three minutes just until they soften and become fragrant. Remove these to join the mushrooms.

Cook The Beef:

Add the remaining butter and oil to the pan and increase the heat to medium-high. Spread out the shaved beef steak in an even layer then cook without disturbing for one or two minutes to get a nice sear. Toss and cook for another two to three minutes until browned but still tender.

Combine And Season:

Return all the cooked vegetables to the pan with the beef. Stir in salt garlic powder freshly cracked black pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well and let everything cook for another one to two minutes so the flavors meld together.

Melt The Cheese:

Lay the provolone slices evenly over the beef and vegetable mixture. Turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid to gently melt the cheese ensuring it becomes creamy and gooey without burning.

Toast The Rolls:

Preheat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius or 350 Fahrenheit. Spread two tablespoons of butter on the inside of each hoagie roll. Place them on a baking sheet and toast until golden and crisp about five to seven minutes.

Assemble:

Fill each toasted roll generously with the cheesy beef and vegetable mixture. Serve immediately to enjoy the sandwich while hot and melty.

This sandwich reminds me of early road trips where grabbing a hot cheesesteak felt like a tiny celebration. Provolone cheese is my favorite here because it melts perfectly forming that satisfying stringy texture we all love.

Storage Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and eat within two days. Reheat gently in a skillet or oven to keep the rolls crispy. Avoid microwaving which can make bread soggy and cheese tough.

Ingredient Swaps

If you cannot find shaved beef try thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin for tender results. Use Swiss cheese or mozzarella instead of provolone for a different melt but still creamy experience. Substitute bell peppers with poblano or mild jalapeño for extra heat.

Serving Ideas

Serve with a side of crunchy pickles or coleslaw to add brightness and texture contrast. A bowl of tomato soup pairs wonderfully making it a cozy meal especially on colder days. Add a drizzle of hot sauce or a smear of mayonnaise inside the rolls for extra flavor layers.

Patience makes a huge difference when melting the cheese to get that perfect gooey texture.
