Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 340 grams Lean beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 60 grams Low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 large Bell peppers (red, green, or yellow), thinly sliced
- 1 medium Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 small Jalapeño, sliced (optional for extra spice)
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
- 4 small Whole-grain hoagie rolls
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Place the thinly sliced beef in a bowl and season with Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let marinate while you prepare the vegetables.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the bell peppers, onions, and jalapeño (if using). Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another teaspoon of olive oil. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the marinated beef. Cook for 4-6 minutes until the beef is browned and cooked through, stirring frequently. Add minced garlic in the last minute of cooking, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
Reduce the heat to low and return the cooked vegetables to the skillet with the beef. Stir everything together so the flavors combine.
Sprinkle the shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly over the beef and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt, about 1-2 minutes.
While the cheese is melting, lightly toast the whole-grain hoagie rolls in a toaster or under a broiler for extra texture.
Assemble the sandwiches by dividing the beef and vegetable mixture evenly among the hoagie rolls. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your low-fat spicy cheesesteak sandwich!
