Instructions

Step 1 : 

Freeze the steaks for 10 minutes to make them easier to slice. Remove the steaks from the freezer and slice against the grain into long, ¼-inch-wide strips.

Step 2 : 

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over high heat. Add half the sliced steak, season with ½ teaspoon of the fajita seasoning, and sear, stirring occasionally, until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the steak to a plate and cover with foil. Repeat with 1 tablespoon of the oil, the remaining steak, and ½ teaspoon of the fajita seasoning. Reserve with the rest of the steak.

Step 3 : 

Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium-high. Add the butter and remaining 1 tablespoon oil and heat until the butter bubbles. Add the onion, salt, and black pepper and sauté until the onion is softened and translucent, 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 4 : 

Add the bell peppers, poblano peppers, and the remaining 1 teaspoon fajita seasoning and sauté, stirring often, until the onions and peppers are caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 5 : 

Position a rack 4 to 5 inches from the heat and turn the broiler to high. Line a sheet pan with foil.

Step 6 : 

Add the steak to the skillet, toss to combine, and heat through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Step 7 : 

Open the rolls and set them on the lined sheet pan. Using tongs, divide the steak and pepper mixture among the rolls and cover the steak with 2 slices of cheese per open-faced sandwich.

Step 8 : 

Broil the sandwiches until the cheese begins to bubble, 2 to 3 minutes.
