Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak
- 4 slices of provolone cheese
- 4 hoagie rolls or crusty bread
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup sautéed bell peppers (optional)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
How to Make Loaded Steak and Cheese Sandwich
- Start by marinating the flank steak. In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Coat the steak with the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness (145°F for medium-rare). Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- While the steak is resting, slice the hoagie rolls in half and lightly toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown and crispy.
- Slice the grilled steak thinly against the grain. Place equal portions of steak inside each toasted roll.
- Top each sandwich with a slice of provolone cheese. Allow the cheese to melt by placing the sandwiches back on the grill for an additional 1-2 minutes, or you can use a broiler for quicker melting.
- If using sautéed bell peppers, add them on top of the melted cheese.
- In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and hot sauce (if using) to create a spicy spread. Spread this mixture on the top half of each sandwich.
- Close the sandwiches, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
Tips for the Best Results
- Let the steak marinate for longer if you have the time—up to 2 hours enhances the flavor.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the doneness and avoid overcooking the steak.
- For extra flavor, consider adding caramelized onions or different types of cheese like cheddar or Monterey Jack.
Easy Variations
- Swap the flank steak for chicken or turkey for a different protein option.
- Add avocado slices or jalapeños for extra creaminess and heat.
- Use different sauces such as barbecue or ranch for a unique twist.
What to Serve With It
- Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries
- A fresh garden salad
- Coleslaw for a crunchy side
- Pickles or jalapeños for added zing
