Remove the steaks from the grill and let rest briefly before slicing thinly against the grain.
5
Slice the peppers into strips and thinly slice the onion.
6
When ready to assemble the sandwiches heat all three zones of the flat top on medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes.
7
Drizzle or squeeze the oil over two zones and spread with a spatula. Season the peppers and onions with Anything Rub, then transfer to one zone in an even layer. Place the steak slices in an adjacent oiled zone and spread into an even layer. Let both cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers and onions are tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Toast the rolls in the third zone.
8
Mix the peppers and onions with the steak slices. Spoon the Cheez Whiz over the meat and veg and mix until evenly coated.
9
Place two slices of provolone on the bottom of each hoagie roll and spoon the hot steak mixture over the cheese. Enjoy!
