Instructions

Preparation

Slice the ribeye steak thin. If needed, freeze it for 10 minutes to firm up.
In a bowl, mix gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, minced garlic, sesame oil, and black pepper.
Toss the thinly sliced steak in the marinade, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let it sit while you prepare the vegetables.
Slice the onion and bell pepper into thin strips.
Lightly toast the hoagie rolls to prevent them from getting soggy.

Cooking

In a hot skillet with a little oil, cook the sliced vegetables. Remove from the skillet once tender.
In the same skillet, cook the marinated steak quickly, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Add the vegetables back, place cheese on top, and cover to melt for about a minute.

Assembly

Stuff the cheesy steak and vegetable mixture into the toasted hoagie rolls.
Top with fresh green onions and additional sauces if desired.
Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

You can customize the spice level by adjusting gochujang and adding jalapenos for extra heat. Use leftover steak in other dishes for great meal prep.
