Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ribeye steak, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 medium Bell peppers (red, green, yellow), thinly sliced
- 1 large Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Pickled jalapeños, chopped
- 2 cups Shredded Pepper Jack cheese
- 4 Hoagie rolls, sliced open
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 4 Lime wedges (optional for serving)
Instructions
1. Prepare and slice all vegetables, steak, and garnishes before starting to cook.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
3. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the hot skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened and slightly charred. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Transfer the veggies to a bowl and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the thinly sliced ribeye steak and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned and just cooked through.
5. Sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the steak. Mix well to coat evenly.
6. Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet with the steak. Stir in the pickled jalapeños and adjust seasoning if needed.
7. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the inside of the hoagie rolls with melted butter and toast them on a baking sheet in the oven for 3-5 minutes until golden and crispy.
8. Divide the steak and veggie mixture evenly among the toasted hoagie rolls. Top each with a generous handful of shredded Pepper Jack cheese.
9. Place the assembled cheesesteaks back on the baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately with lime wedges for an extra zesty kick.
