This lighter version features lean beef steak, sautéed vegetables, and reduced-fat provolone cheese, served on whole wheat hoagie rolls infused with garlic and Italian seasoning.

Ingredients

• 4 whole wheat hoagie rolls
• 1 lb lean beef steak, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 slices reduced-fat provolone cheese
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Garlic Spread:

• 2 tablespoons light butter or margarine, melted
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

1. Preparation:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

1. Make the Garlic Spread:

• In a small bowl, combine the melted light butter or margarine, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning to create the garlic spread.

1. Toast the Hoagie Rolls:

• Slice the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Brush the garlic spread onto the cut sides of the hoagie rolls. Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the bread is lightly toasted.

1. Prepare the Cheesesteak Filling:

• While the bread is toasting, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the thinly sliced beef steak and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
• In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper, sliced onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-6 minutes.
• Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the vegetables and toss to combine.

1. Assemble and Bake the Sandwiches:

• Divide the steak and vegetable mixture evenly among the toasted hoagie rolls.
• Top each sandwich with a slice of reduced-fat provolone cheese.
• Return the assembled sandwiches to the oven and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

1. Garnish and Serve:

• Garnish the Philly Cheesesteak Garlic Bread with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
