Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 slices sweet onions thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 pounds round sirloin beef steak or skirt beef steak thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces button mushrooms sliced
  • 2 poblano peppers or green bell peppers sliced
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 1/2 - 3 cups beef broth
  • 1/3 cup fresh cilantro or parsley optional
  • 4-6 hoagie rolls
  • Chipotle or regular mayo optional
  • 6 slices provolone cheese

Method
 

  1. In the bowl of your slow cooker, mix together onions, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Spread the butter over the mixture.
  2. Place the steak on top. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper for an even seasoning.
  3. Add mushrooms and bell peppers on top of the steak. Pour 2 1/2 cups of beef broth and soy sauce over the mixture.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 5-6 hours. Stir once or twice, if you get the chance, to evenly distribute flavors.
  5. If your liquid runs low, add the remaining 1/2 cup of beef broth. The steak should stay mostly submerged during cooking for maximum tenderness.
  6. Stir in freshly chopped cilantro (if using) once the steak is fully cooked. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  7. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Spread mayo on the hoagie rolls (optional), stuff each roll with the steak mixture, and top generously with provolone cheese.
  8. Wrap each sandwich in foil and bake for 5-10 minutes, just until the cheese is gooey and melted.
  9. Serve immediately with jalapeños or French fries, if you like a little extra kick. Enjoy warm!

Notes

Go Thin with the Steak: Super-thin slices cook faster and soak up all those delicious juices. Freeze the steak slightly to make slicing easier.
