Green Chile Philly

Ingredients:

1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak

1 tbsp Fiesta’s Steak Seasoning (or your favorite steak seasoning blend)

1 tbsp olive oil

1 green bell pepper, sliced

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 large onion, sliced

1.5 cups roasted green chile, chopped

6 slices provolone cheese

4 hoagie rolls, toasted

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Prepare the Steak:

Rub the steak with olive oil and season generously with Fiesta’s Steak Seasoning. Let the steak rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.

Grill the Steak:

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

Once grilled, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat.

Cook the Peppers and Onions:

In a large skillet, add a bit of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.

Add the sliced bell peppers and onions to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Slice the Steak:

While the peppers and onions are cooking, slice the grilled steak into thin strips.

Combine Steak with Peppers and Onions:

Add the sliced steak to the skillet with the peppers and onions. Stir to combine and let everything heat through for 2-3 minutes.

Melt the Cheese and Add Green Chile:

Add the chopped roasted green chile to the skillet, spreading it evenly over the steak mixture.

Lay the provolone slices over the top of the mixture, cover the skillet with a lid, and allow the cheese to melt, about 2 minutes.

Assemble the Sandwiches:

Spoon the steak, pepper, and cheese mixture onto the toasted hoagie rolls. Be generous with the filling!

Serve:

Serve hot and enjoy your Green Chile Philly with a side of your choice, like chips or a salad.

This twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak adds a Southwestern kick with the roasted green chile, making it a flavorful and satisfying meal.

Notes:

Steak Selection: Sirloin and ribeye are excellent choices for this recipe due to their tenderness and flavor. For a more budget-friendly option, you can use flank steak or skirt steak, though they may require a slightly longer marination or cooking time for optimal tenderness.

Seasoning: Fiesta’s Steak Seasoning adds a robust flavor to the steak, but you can use your favorite steak seasoning blend or even make your own with a mix of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Green Chile: Roasted green chiles add a smoky, slightly spicy flavor that sets this sandwich apart. If you prefer a milder taste, you can use fewer chiles or opt for a milder variety. For those who love heat, consider adding jalapeños or hot Hatch chiles.

Cheese Options: Provolone is a classic choice for its meltability and mild flavor, but feel free to experiment with other cheeses like pepper jack for extra spice or cheddar for a sharper taste.

Serving Suggestions: This sandwich pairs well with classic sides like fries, chips, or a crisp green salad. For an extra touch, you can spread some mayo or mustard on the hoagie rolls before adding the filling.

Cooking Tips: Letting the steak rest after grilling is crucial for juicy results. Also, make sure to toast the hoagie rolls lightly to prevent them from becoming soggy when filled with the hot steak and cheese mixture.

Make-Ahead: The steak, peppers, and onions can be prepped ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Reheat the mixture and assemble the sandwiches just before serving for a quick and easy meal.
