Place the ribeye steak in the freezer for about 30 minutes to slightly firm up, making it easier to slice thinly.
While the steak is in the freezer, prepare the vegetables. Wash and thinly slice the bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms.
Remove the steak from the freezer and, using a sharp knife, slice it as thinly as possible across the grain for tender slices.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Introduce the thinly sliced beef in a single layer. Sprinkle with garlic powder and black pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the beef is browned and cooked through.
Return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet with the beef. Mix well to combine.
Lay the low-sodium provolone cheese slices over the beef and vegetable mixture and cover the skillet briefly to allow the cheese to melt, about 1-2 minutes.
Slice the whole wheat hoagie rolls lengthwise and lay them flat on a serving platter. Divide the beef and vegetable mixture evenly among the hoagie rolls.
Serve the low sodium Philly cheese steaks immediately, while the cheese is melted and gooey.
