Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Marinade
- 1 pound Beef Sirloin (Can replace with chicken or tofu)
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce (Use low-sodium if desired)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil (Additional vegetable oil can be used)
- 2 cloves Minced Garlic (Fresh preferred over garlic powder)
- 1 tablespoon Sugar (Brown sugar can be used for deeper flavor)
Vegetables and Add-ins
- 1 medium Onion (Chopped into thin slices)
- 2 medium Bell Peppers (Use any seasonal varieties, thinly sliced)
- 1 cup Kimchi (Store-bought or homemade, chopped)
Breads and Cheese
- 4 slices Cheese (e.g., Provolone or American; Cheddar or Pepper Jack can be used)
- 4 rolls Hoagie Rolls (Toast rolls for added crunch)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips. Chop the onion and bell peppers into thin slices for even cooking and optimal texture.
- Make Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and sugar. Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring each strip is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a teaspoon of oil. Add the chopped onion and bell peppers, sautéing for about 5 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
- Cook Beef: Push the sautéed veggies to one side of the skillet and add the marinated beef strips to the other side. Cook the beef for approximately 5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Add Kimchi: Mix in the chopped kimchi with the beef and vegetables, cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Stir well to blend the flavors evenly.
- Toast Rolls and Assemble: Toast the hoagie rolls until lightly crisp. Fill each roll with the beef, vegetable, and kimchi mixture. Top generously with cheese slices.
- Melt Cheese: Place the filled rolls under a broiler for about 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately for best taste.
Notes
- You can substitute beef sirloin with chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt levels if desired.
- Brown sugar can replace white sugar for a richer caramel flavor in the marinade.
- Ensure vegetables are sliced thinly for even cooking and texture balance.
- Broiling times may vary depending on your oven; watch closely to prevent burning the cheese.
- Kimchi can be store-bought or homemade according to your preference.
