Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Veggies
- 2 lbs flank steak or ribeye, thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 large bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
Seasonings and Sauces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Bread and Cheese
- 8 hoagie rolls or sub rolls
- 8 slices provolone cheese (or American cheese)
Instructions
- Sear the Steak: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced flank steak or ribeye and sear for 2-3 minutes until browned, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Prepare Crock Pot Ingredients: Transfer the seared steak to the Crock Pot. Add the sliced onion, bell pepper if using, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper on top.
- Add Liquids: Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir gently to combine all ingredients in the Crock Pot, then cover with the lid.
- Slow Cook: Cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the meat becomes tender and fully cooked through.
- Shred and Season: After cooking, use tongs to stir and break up the meat into bite-sized pieces. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Scoop a generous portion of the meat mixture onto each hoagie roll. Top with a slice of provolone or American cheese.
- Melt Cheese and Serve: Melt the cheese by placing assembled sandwiches under a broiler briefly or microwaving until cheese is melted. Serve hot and enjoy!
