Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, mix the 3 tbsp soy sauce and 2 tbsp brown sugar until dissolved. Add the 1 lb beef and toss to coat; set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add the 1 sliced onion and cook, stirring, until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Add the beef to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook without stirring for 2 minutes, then flip and cook until browned and cooked through, about 2 more minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Return the onions to the skillet, stir to combine, and cook for 1 minute until hot. Divide the mixture between the 2 hoagie rolls.

  5. Step 5

    Top each with 2 slices of provolone. Broil or toast in the skillet until the cheese melts and bubbles, about 2 minutes. Serve hot.
