Slow Cooker Philly Cheese Steak Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 ½ to 3 pounds beef round steak, sliced into thin strips
• 2 green peppers, sliced thin
• 2 onions, sliced thin
• 3 cups beef stock
• 2 teaspoons garlic salt
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 envelope dry Italian dressing mix
• French bread or large hoagie rolls, sliced into sandwich lengths
• Provolone cheese slices

Instructions:

1. Prep the Meat: If your beef round steak isn’t already cut into thin strips, slice it against the grain to ensure tenderness.
2. Layer Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Spray your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Place the thin strips of beef in the cooker. Top with the sliced green peppers and onions.
3. Add Seasonings and Stock: Pour the beef stock over the beef and veggies. Sprinkle with garlic salt, black pepper, and the entire envelope of dry Italian dressing mix. Stir lightly to combine.
4. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
5. Prep for Serving: When the cooking time is almost done, preheat your oven to a low broil and prep your french bread or hoagie rolls by slicing them into sandwich lengths.
6. Assemble Sandwiches: Using tongs or a slotted spoon, scoop the beef, peppers, and onions onto the bread. Drizzle with a little of the cooking juice if you like.
7. Add Cheese: Top each sandwich with slices of Provolone cheese.
8. Melt the Cheese: Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and broil in the preheated oven just until the cheese is melted and bubbly, usually a couple of minutes.
9. Optional Mushroom Topping: If you want to add sautéed mushrooms, heat a skillet over medium heat, add a little oil or butter, and cook sliced mushrooms until they are golden brown. Top the sandwiches with the mushrooms before serving.
10. Serve: Serve your Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches hot with any desired sides or condiments.
