Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Vegetables
- 2 pounds beef sirloin steak (thinly sliced)
- 2 bell peppers (thinly sliced, choose your favorite colors)
- 1 large onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
Liquids and Seasonings
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
For Serving
- 6-8 hoagie rolls
- 12-16 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Thinly slice the beef sirloin steak, bell peppers, and onion. Mince the garlic carefully to ensure even cooking and flavor distribution.
- Season the Beef: Season the sliced beef with salt and pepper according to your taste, to enhance the meat’s natural flavors.
- Layer the Crockpot: Place half of the sliced bell peppers and onions in the bottom of the crockpot. Add the minced garlic evenly distributed on top.
- Add the Beef: Arrange the seasoned beef slices over the layered vegetables in the crockpot, ensuring even coverage.
- Pour in the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Pour this flavorful mixture over the beef and vegetables in the crockpot.
- Cook on Low: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours until the beef is tender and fully cooked, allowing flavors to meld beautifully.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Preheat your oven broiler. Slice the hoagie rolls in half and place them cut side up on a baking sheet. Pile a generous portion of the cooked beef, peppers, and onions onto each roll, then top with 2 slices of provolone cheese.
- Broil the Sandwiches: Place the baking sheet under the preheated broiler for 2-3 minutes. Watch carefully until the cheese melts fully and bubbles, achieving a golden finish.
- Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the oven and serve them hot for the best experience.
- Enjoy: Pair your Slow Cooker Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches with classic sides like potato chips, crispy fries, or a fresh side salad to complete the meal.
Notes
- For a spicier twist, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture before cooking.
- Slicing the beef very thin helps it become tender during slow cooking.
- Use a sharp knife or ask your butcher to thinly slice the meat to achieve the best texture.
- Broil the sandwiches carefully to prevent the cheese from burning; keep a close eye during this step.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
