Ingredients

• 1 pound Lean beef sirloin
• 2 cups Low sodium beef broth
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 1 Green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 Sweet onion, sliced
• 4 Whole wheat hoagie rolls
• 2 tablespoons Flat-leaf parsley, chopped
• 0.5 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Trim any visible fat from the beef sirloin and cut it into 4 equal pieces.

Step 2

In a slow cooker, combine the beef broth, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to mix the spices well.

Step 3

Place the beef pieces into the slow cooker. Ensure the beef is submerged in the broth.

Step 4

Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded.

Step 5

About 30 minutes before the beef is done, add the sliced green bell peppers and onions to the slow cooker.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker, let it cool slightly, then shred it using two forks.

Step 7

Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir it well with the peppers and onions. Let it absorb the flavors for an additional 15-20 minutes.

Step 8

Slice the whole wheat hoagie rolls lengthwise but not all the way through. Warm them slightly if desired.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix together the non-fat Greek yogurt and salt. This will serve as a spread to add creaminess to the sandwich.

Step 10

Spread the yogurt mixture evenly on the inside of each hoagie roll.

Step 11

Divide the beef mixture evenly among the rolls, top with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
