Sizzling Philly-Style Steak Sandwiches

Begin by trimming any excess fat from the steak.

Combine garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, basil, ground black pepper, and kosher sea salt with 2 tablespoons of canola oil to create the marinade. Add the steaks to this mixture, ensuring they're well covered. Allow them to marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.

While your steak is marinating, prepare your vegetables. Halve the grape tomatoes, quarter the baby bella mushrooms, and slice the red onion into thin wedges.

Heat a skillet over medium heat with the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add your prepared vegetables to the skillet, sautéing them until they're tender and lightly charred. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set them aside.

In the same skillet, cook your marinated steak. For medium-rare, saute each side for about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked to your preference, remove from heat and allow the steaks to rest for 5 minutes.

While the steaks rest, prepare your baguettes. Toast the halved baguettes in the still-warm skillet until they're golden brown.

Slice your steaks against the grain into thin strips.

To assemble the sandwiches, layer sliced provolone cheese, steak strips, and sautéed vegetables onto the bottom half of each baguette. Top with the other half of the baguette and press gently to secure.

Serve the sandwiches warm, either as they are or cut in half for easier handling. Enjoy your delicious home-made Philly-Style Steak Sandwiches.
