- Brown the steak quickly, ensuring it stays tender.
- Melt the Cheese:
- Return the onions and peppers to the skillet, mixing with the cooked beef.

Notes
- Freezing Tip: Freeze the beef for 30 minutes before slicing for thinner, restaurant-style cuts.
- Cheese Options: Provolone offers a mild, creamy flavor, while Cheez Whiz delivers a classic Philly-style cheesesteak experience.
- Bread Matters: A sturdy hoagie roll prevents sogginess and holds up to the juicy steak and cheese.
- Serving Suggestion: Pair with fries, onion rings, or a side of creamy pasta like this Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Alfredo.
