Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb sandwich steak (thinly sliced beef, such as sirloin or ribeye)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional, for added flavor)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional, for extra depth)
- 4 sandwich rolls or hoagie buns (if making a sandwich)
- 4 slices provolone or American cheese (optional)
- ½ cup sautéed onions and bell peppers (optional, for a Philly-style sandwich)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Steak
- If the steak is not pre-sliced, use a sharp knife to cut it into thin strips for easier cooking.
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture (this helps with browning).
- Season the steak evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
2. Heat the Pan
- Heat a cast iron skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add olive oil or butter and let it melt, coating the pan evenly.
3. Cook the Steak
- Place the seasoned steak in the hot pan in a single layer.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, flipping once, until browned and slightly crispy.
- If using Worcestershire sauce, drizzle it over the steak while cooking for extra flavor.
- If making a cheesesteak, add cheese slices on top of the steak during the last 30 seconds and let them melt.
4. Assemble the Sandwich (Optional)
- Toast the sandwich rolls or hoagie buns lightly.
- Place the cooked steak onto the bun.
- Add sautéed onions and bell peppers if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
