Instructions
1
Preheat your grill to medium heat, ensuring it's hot enough for cooking.
2
Generously sprinkle the boneless sirloin steak on both sides with seasoning salt, garlic pepper, chili powder, and dried oregano leaves. Let the steak sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
3
Place the steak on the grill over direct heat. Cover and grill for 8 to 9 minutes, turning the steak once or twice during cooking, until it reaches your desired doneness.
4
In the last few minutes of grilling, split the hoagie rolls and place them cut side down on the grill to toast until golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
5
Once the steak is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Then slice the steak across the grain into thin strips.
6
To assemble the sandwiches, spread 2 tablespoons of salsa on the bottom of each toasted hoagie roll. Layer with slices of steak, a slice of colby-monterey jack cheese, and thin slices of avocado. Top with the top half of the hoagie roll to complete the sandwich.
