Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced roughly 2 cups
- ½ large green pepper, cut into strips
- 1 8oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 lb sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- salt and pepper, optional and to taste
- 4 ciabatta rolls, dinner roll size
Instructions
- If time permits, place the steak in the freezer for 20 minutes so it's easier to cut into thin strips.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet set at medium high. Saute onions until light brown, soft, and smelling really good! It will take about 5-6 minutes. Remove from pan. Cook mushrooms in the same pan on medium heat until they are cooked (they get smaller and are in liquid). Cook peppers last, leaving them slightly crisp.
- Slice the steak you have had in the freezer into thin strips. Slice against the grain so it's more tender. Lightly salt and pepper it. If needed, add just a little more oil to your pan. Cook steak slices. Allow space between slices so your meat browns. It will take approximately 2 minutes or so to cook through on each side. The slices should be nicely browned on the outside but still moist (a touch of pink) on the inside.
- I placed ½ slice of provolone cheese on each roll, topped with two or three steak slices, and then the veggies.
Notes
Can the steak be grilled?
Yes, grill the whole steak and then cut into thin slices. If you prefer your steak more rare, this would be how to cook it.
