Ingredients

• 1 pound Ribeye steak
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 4 rolls Whole wheat sandwich rolls
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Place the ribeye steak in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm it up for easier slicing.

Step 2

While the steak is chilling, slice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow onion into thin strips.

Step 3

Remove the steak from the freezer and slice it as thinly as possible against the grain.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, sautéing them until they're soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and season with black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Return the sautéed peppers and onions to the skillet and combine with the steak. Lower the heat to medium and lay the slices of Swiss cheese on top of the steak and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.

Step 7

While the cheese is melting, toast the whole wheat sandwich rolls lightly in a toaster or oven.

Step 8

Divide the cheesesteak mixture evenly among the bottom halves of the rolls, top with freshly chopped parsley, and place the top halves of the rolls on each sandwich.

Step 9

Serve immediately with a side of low-sodium condiments or a fresh salad.
