Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Work in batches on the griddle to avoid overcrowding; overcrowding steams meat instead of searing it.
Season the shaved steak right before cooking so salt doesn't draw out moisture.
Toast hoagie rolls face-down on the griddle for 1–2 minutes to add texture and prevent sogginess from cheese sauce.
Stir peppers and onions occasionally so they caramelize evenly and build deep flavor.

Substitutions

Shaved steak → thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin (slice it yourself with a sharp knife)
Cheese sauce → sliced provolone, American, or Cheez Whiz (melt over the meat)
Hoagie rolls → Italian sub rolls or crusty white sandwich rolls
Red and yellow bell peppers → green peppers or a mix of poblano and bell pepper

Storage & make-ahead

Store assembled sandwiches wrapped in foil in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes. Cooked steak and vegetables can be refrigerated separately for up to 3 days and reassembled fresh.
