Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 12 ounces lean beef tenderloin or chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 4 whole-grain hoagie rolls
- 4 slices reduced-fat provolone cheese

Instructions
Thinly slice the yellow onion and green bell pepper, discarding the seeds and core from the pepper.
Slice the beef tenderloin or chicken breast against the grain into thin strips.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and beginning to caramelize.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the sliced beef or chicken to the empty side.
Season the meat with garlic powder and black pepper. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is just cooked through.
Mix the vegetables back with the meat, then add the low sodium soy sauce and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Split the whole-grain hoagie rolls and lightly toast them, if desired.
Divide the meat and vegetable mixture evenly among the hoagie rolls.
Place a slice of reduced-fat provolone cheese on top of the meat filling in each sandwich.
Top each sandwich with a small handful of arugula.
Serve immediately while warm, enjoying the rich flavors of a healthy twist on a classic Philly cheesesteak.
