salt
1/2 teaspoon
black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
paprika
1/2 teaspoon
cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon
onion powder

Italian seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons (finely ground with fingers)
olive oil
3 tablespoons
onion
1/2 (sliced thin (1/4-inch))

3/4 cup
Swiss cheese
3 ounces (thinly sliced)

Instructions
1
Begin by placing the sliced steak in a large mixing bowl. This will allow for easy tossing when seasoning the meat.
2
In a separate small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to create a flavorful spice mix.
3
Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over the sliced beef and stir well to ensure all the strips are coated with the delicious spices.
4
Heat half of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned beef and sauté until cooked to your liking, about 3-5 minutes for medium rare. Remove the beef from the pan and keep it warm.
5
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and heat it up. Add the sliced onions, julienned bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté the vegetables until they are tender yet crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
6
Once the vegetables are cooked, return the beef to the skillet, mixing it well with the veggies to keep everything warm.
7
Preheat your oven to broil. While it heats, prepare the hoagie rolls by buttering the inside of each roll.
8
On the bottom half of each hoagie roll, lay down slices of Swiss cheese, tearing them in half as needed to ensure coverage.
9
Carefully divide the beef and vegetable mixture evenly among the rolls, topping each with another portion of the torn Swiss cheese.
10
Place the stuffed hoagie rolls on a foil-lined baking sheet, keeping the top halves separate for broiling. Broil in the oven just until the cheese is beautifully melted, usually 2-3 minutes—watch carefully to avoid burning!
11
Remove from oven, cover each filled roll with its top half, and serve immediately. Enjoy the savory, gooey goodness of your Ultimate Philly Cheese Steaks!
