Categories     Entree

Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced
2 lb beef top round (about 1 1/2 inch thick), cut lengthwise into paper-thin strips (Ask your butcher to slice the beef. However, if you prefer to slice it yourself, freeze the beef 30 to 60 minutes or until it's firm but not frozen to make it easier to slice.)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
6 hoagie buns, split
1 1/4 cups cheese dip (from 15-oz jar)

Steps:

  • In 10-inch skillet, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat until hot. Add onions and bell peppers. Cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender. Remove skillet from heat and remove onion mixture from skillet; set aside.
  • Toss beef with salt and pepper so seasonings are evenly distributed. To the same skillet, add remaining oil and butter and increase heat to medium-high. Add one-fourth of the beef and cook 1 to 2 minutes, turning once, until beef is browned. Remove beef from skillet, and repeat to cook remaining beef.
  • Return beef to skillet with onions and bell peppers. Stir in Worcestershire sauce. Divide beef evenly among bottom halves of buns and spoon 3 tablespoons cheese dip onto each. Cover with top halves of buns. (If your cheese dip has been refrigerated, spoon it into a microwavable bowl and microwave 10 to 20 seconds on High or until warm).

  • Use a good quality olive oil or butter. This will help to flavor the onions and peppers. If you are using butter, be sure to clarify it first to prevent it from burning.
  • Cook the onions and peppers over medium heat. This will allow them to caramelize and develop flavor without burning.
  • Stir the onions and peppers frequently. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Season the onions and peppers with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
