Ready in just 35 minutes of hands-on time, it's your go-to recipe for a quick and satisfying meal.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Place the ribeye steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the steak is fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
While the steak marinates, slice the green and red bell peppers and the yellow onion.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the peppers and onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare or cook to your desired level of doneness. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice the hoagie rolls in half, if not already pre-sliced, and place them on a baking sheet. If you prefer crispier bread, lightly toast in the oven for 3-5 minutes.
Layer the bottom half of each hoagie roll with the sliced steak, sautéed peppers, and onions. Top with 2 slices of provolone cheese per sandwich.
Place the sandwiches (open-faced) in the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh Italian parsley, and close each sandwich with the top half of the roll.
Serve warm and enjoy!
