Summary

Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Estimated Ingredient Costs: $15 – $20

Thinly Sliced Ribeye Steak (1 lb)
Provolone Cheese (8 slices)
Fresh Hoagie Rolls (4)
White Onions (2 medium, thinly sliced)
Green Bell Peppers (2, thinly sliced)
Mushrooms (1 cup, sliced)
Salt and Pepper (to taste)
Olive Oil (2 tablespoons)
Optional: Hot sauce or ketchup for serving

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by thinly slicing the ribeye steak, onions, green bell peppers, and mushrooms. Set aside.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms, sautéing until soft and slightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl and set aside.
  3. Cook the Steak: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and increase the heat to high. Add the thinly sliced steak, spreading it out evenly. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Combine Steak and Veggies: Lower the heat to medium. Return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet with the steak, mixing well to combine.
  5. Assemble the Sandwiches: Slice the hoagie rolls open but not all the way through. Place two slices of provolone cheese in each roll, then generously fill with the steak and vegetable mixture. If desired, add hot sauce or ketchup.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the cheesesteak sandwiches immediately, accompanied by your favorite side or snack.

Veggie Prep: Let kids wash and dry the vegetables. Older children can help by slicing the veggies under supervision.

Assembling Sandwiches: Kids can layer the cheese on the bread and add the steak and veggie mixture, making it a fun assembly line activity.

Customizing Their Sandwich: Encourage kids to customize their sandwich with their favorite toppings, fostering creativity and personal taste.

  • Vegetarian: Substitute ribeye steak with sliced portobello mushrooms or seitan for a meat-free version, maintaining the rich flavors and textures of the original dish.
  • Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free hoagie rolls or serve the cheesesteak mixture over a bed of leafy greens for a low-carb option.
  • Dairy-Free: Opt for dairy-free cheese slices or omit the cheese altogether to cater to dairy sensitivities without compromising on taste.
