Description

A bold fusion sandwich combining savory marinated beef, tangy kimchi, and melted cheese in a toasted hoagie roll. This Korean-inspired cheesesteak is quick, flavorful, and perfect for a satisfying meal.


Ingredients

1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced

1 cup kimchi, chopped

1 medium yellow onion, sliced

1 cup bell peppers, sliced

4 slices provolone or American cheese

2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

1 tbsp sesame oil

2 tsp vegetable oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp sugar

4 hoagie rolls, toasted


Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the beef, onion, and bell peppers, and chop the kimchi.
  2. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and sugar. Add the beef and toss well. Marinate for 15 minutes.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion and bell peppers for about 5 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
  4. Push vegetables to one side and add the marinated beef. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.
  5. Stir in the kimchi and cook for another 2 minutes to combine flavors.
  6. Fill toasted hoagie rolls with the beef mixture, top with cheese, and broil for about 2 minutes until melted.
  7. Serve hot.

Notes

Ribeye or flank steak can be used instead of sirloin for different flavor profiles.

Add gochujang or extra kimchi for more spice.

Swap cheese with mozzarella, cheddar, or Swiss if preferred.

For a lighter option, serve the filling over rice instead of bread.

Store leftover filling in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in a skillet for best texture.
