Instructions

Sear the Steak: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced flank steak or ribeye and sear it for 2-3 minutes until browned, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Transfer to Crock Pot: Place the seared steak into the Crock Pot. Add the sliced onion, bell pepper if using, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add Broth and Worcestershire Sauce: Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir all ingredients together to combine well, then cover the Crock Pot with the lid.
Cook Slowly: Cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours until the meat becomes tender and fully cooked.
Shred the Meat: Once cooking is complete, use tongs to stir and break the meat into bite-sized pieces. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Assemble Sandwiches: Spoon the meat mixture onto hoagie rolls. Top each with a slice of provolone cheese. Melt the cheese under a broiler or in the microwave if desired.
Serve: Serve the hot Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches immediately and enjoy.

Notes

Searing the steak before slow cooking adds extra flavor and helps lock in juices.
Bell peppers are optional but add sweetness and color.
You can substitute provolone cheese with American or any melting cheese of your choice.
To melt cheese faster, place assembled sandwiches under the oven broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
