When I was younger my mom would usually cook for us during the weekdays. On the weekends however we would usually go out as a family to a sit down restaurant. One day my family and I decided to go to BJ's. This amazing restaurant serves some of the best dishes. One day I decided to get a Philly Cheese Steak. At first I was a little skeptic as I didn't know what it was and I didn't know if I would like it or not. I decided to get it and when I got my plate, my mouth immediately started water at the sight of the Philly. When I took my first bit, I felt like I was transported to a whole new world filled with every food that I love. I enjoyed it so much that I asked my mom if she could make me it sometime and she said yes. When she finally made it for me I loved the way she cooked the Philly Cheese Steak even more than BJ's, that I continually ask her to make it for me. This is one of my favorites because she always makes it for me and I love my mom. 

Ingredients:
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 green peppers, thinly sliced
2 red peppers, thinly sliced
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
Kosher salt
1 1/2 lb. sirloin steak, thinly sliced
Freshly ground black pepper
8 slices of provolone
4 hoagie rolls

Directions:

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add peppers and onion and season with salt. Cook, stirring often, until caramelized, 12 to 15 minutes.
2. Remove onions and peppers from skillet and set aside. Add remaining tablespoon oil and cook steak until it has almost reached your preferred doneness, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Return veggies to skillet and toss to combine with steak. Blanket mixture with provolone and cook, covered, until the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes more. Divide mixture among hoagie rolls and serve.
4. (If you want it even better add some nacho cheese to the Philly to make it even better)
