Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Sauce
- 1 lb ribeye steak, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetables
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup bell peppers (mixed red and green), chopped
Other
- 4 oz provolone cheese
- 2 hoagie rolls
Instructions
- Prepare the steak and vegetables: Slice the ribeye steak against the grain into thin strips. Chop the bell peppers and onion into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Season the steak: In a bowl, toss the thinly sliced steak with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, making sure the meat is evenly coated for enhanced flavor.
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to fully preheat, which helps cook the ingredients evenly.
- Cook the vegetables: Place the chopped bell peppers and onions in the air fryer basket and cook for about 5 minutes until they become softened and slightly tender.
- Add and cook the steak: Layer the seasoned steak strips on top of the cooked vegetables in the air fryer basket. Cook for an additional 6 minutes or until the steak reaches medium-rare doneness.
- Melt the cheese: During the last 2 minutes of cooking, layer slices of provolone cheese over the steak and vegetable mixture so it melts thoroughly and enhances the flavor.
- Assemble and serve: Open the hoagie rolls and fill them with the cheesy steak and vegetable mix. Drizzle any leftover juices from the air fryer basket over the sandwiches for extra moisture and taste. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- For thinner slices of steak, partially freeze the ribeye before slicing; this makes it easier to achieve thin strips.
- You can customize the peppers to your preference by using all red, green, or even adding some jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute hoagie rolls with gluten-free buns or sandwiches wraps.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation and even cooking.
- Adjust cooking times based on your air fryer model and desired steak doneness.
