Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Vegetables
- 2 pounds beef sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 2 bell peppers, thinly sliced (choose your favorite colors)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Sandwich Assembly
- 6-8 hoagie rolls
- 12-16 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Thinly slice the beef sirloin steak, bell peppers, and onion. Mince the garlic to ensure it infuses flavor evenly throughout the dish.
- Season the Beef: Season the sliced beef with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring the meat is well-flavored before slow cooking.
- Layer the Crockpot: Place half of the sliced bell peppers and onions in the bottom of the crockpot. Add the minced garlic on top to distribute its aroma and flavor.
- Add the Beef: Layer the seasoned beef slices on top of the bell peppers, onions, and garlic in the crockpot for even cooking.
- Pour in the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Pour this mixture over the beef and vegetables in the crockpot to keep everything moist and flavorful.
- Cook on Low: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or until the beef is tender and fully cooked through, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: When the beef is ready, preheat your oven broiler. Slice the hoagie rolls in half and place them on a baking sheet. Top each roll with a generous portion of the beef, peppers, and onions. Add 2 slices of provolone cheese on top for that classic melted topping.
- Broil the Sandwiches: Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly and slightly golden.
- Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the oven and serve hot to enjoy the perfect melty, flavorful cheesesteak experience.
- Enjoy: Pair your Slow Cooker Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches with your favorite sides like potato chips, fries, or a crisp side salad for a complete meal.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, consider adding sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the slow cooker.
- Use beef sirloin or ribeye for the best balance of tenderness and flavor.
- Broil the sandwiches carefully and keep an eye on them to prevent the cheese from burning.
- Leftover filling can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated for easy meals.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free hoagie rolls and verify soy sauce is gluten-free or substitute with tamari.
