Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) beef sirloin, cut into thin 2 inch strips
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, julienned
Cheese and Seasoning:
- 3 ounces (85 grams) Swiss cheese, thinly sliced
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) salt
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) black pepper
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) paprika
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) chili powder
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) onion powder
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) dried marjoram
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) dried basil
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) vegetable oil
- 4 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise
Instructions
- Craft a zesty seasoning blend by thoroughly mixing salt, black pepper, paprika, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, marjoram, and basil in a small mixing bowl.
- Transfer beef sirloin strips to a large bowl and generously coat with the prepared seasoning mixture, ensuring even distribution by gently tossing the meat.
- Warm half the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering and hot.
- Sear the seasoned beef strips, stirring intermittently, until achieving desired doneness. Transfer cooked meat to a separate plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add remaining oil and introduce sliced onions and julienned green peppers.
- Sauté vegetables until they become tender and develop a rich, caramelized exterior, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Activate the oven’s broiler and position a rack approximately 4 inches from the heat source.
- Arrange hoagie rolls and distribute the cooked beef evenly across the bottom halves.
- Layer the caramelized onions and green peppers atop the beef.
- Crown each sandwich with Swiss cheese slices and position the baking sheet under the broiler.
- Broil for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully until cheese melts completely and turns slightly golden.
- Complete the sandwiches by covering with top roll halves and serve immediately while piping hot.
Notes
- This zesty beef sandwich packs a punch with a custom spice blend that transforms simple sirloin strips into a mouthwatering meal.
- Carefully selecting and mixing dried herbs creates a robust seasoning that elevates the meat’s natural flavors.
- Caramelizing vegetables in the same skillet where beef was cooked ensures maximum flavor absorption and reduces dish cleanup.
- Broiling the sandwich allows cheese to melt perfectly and creates a golden, crispy top that adds textural contrast.
- Choosing fresh, high-quality Swiss cheese guarantees a creamy, rich finish that complements the spiced beef and sweet caramelized vegetables.
- Serving immediately preserves the sandwich’s optimal temperature and ensures the cheese remains gloriously melted and stretchy.
