Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 2 pounds beef sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 2 bell peppers, thinly sliced (choose your favorite colors)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Liquids and Seasonings
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Bread and Cheese
- 6–8 hoagie rolls
- 12–16 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Thinly slice the beef sirloin steak, bell peppers, and onion. Mince the garlic to get ready for layering in the slow cooker.
- Season the Beef: Season the sliced beef with salt and pepper evenly to enhance flavor throughout cooking.
- Layer the Crockpot: Place half of the sliced bell peppers and onions in the bottom of the crockpot. Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly on top to infuse flavor.
- Add the Beef: Lay the seasoned beef slices over the bed of peppers, onions, and garlic, distributing it evenly for consistent cooking.
- Pour in the Sauce: Combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce in a bowl, then pour this mixture over the beef to keep it moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Cook on Low: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours until the beef is tender and thoroughly cooked, allowing flavors to meld beautifully.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the beef is ready, preheat your oven’s broiler. Slice the hoagie rolls in half and arrange them on a baking sheet. Top each roll with a generous portion of the beef mixture followed by 2 slices of provolone cheese.
- Broil the Sandwiches: Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and starts to bubble, creating a delicious melty topping.
- Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the oven carefully. Serve hot to enjoy the perfect balance of tender beef and melted cheese on a hearty roll.
- Enjoy: These Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches pair wonderfully with sides like potato chips, French fries, or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
Notes
