Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Lean beef sirloin
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 Medium onion
- 1 Green bell pepper
- 4 Low-fat provolone cheese slices
- 4 Whole wheat sub rolls
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Place the beef sirloin in the freezer for about 30 minutes until slightly firm. This makes it easier to slice the beef thinly.
While the beef is chilling, thinly slice the onion and green bell pepper. Set aside.
Remove the beef from the freezer and slice it as thinly as possible against the grain to ensure tenderness.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and green bell pepper and sauté until they are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the sliced beef to the skillet with garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
While the beef mixture is cooking, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Once the beef is cooked, divide the mixture into four equal parts in the skillet. Place a slice of low-fat provolone cheese on top of each portion and let it melt slightly.
Slice each whole wheat sub roll, leaving one side intact. Place one portion of the beef, pepper, and onion mixture with melted cheese into each roll.
Fold each roll tightly to encase the filling. Place them on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to warm the bread and slightly melt the cheese.
Remove from the oven, slice each sandwich in half, and serve immediately.
