Croissant Philly Cheese Steak

## Instructions

1. **Prepare the filling:**
Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions (and bell pepper if using) and sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized. Add the thinly sliced steak, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and pepper. Cook for an additional 3–4 minutes, or until the steak is just cooked through. Remove from heat.

2. **Assemble the croissants:**
Cut the croissants in half lengthwise (like a sandwich bun) and lightly toast them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes, just until warm and slightly crispy.

3. **Layer the cheese steak:**
Spoon the steak and onion mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted croissant. Top with a generous amount of shredded provolone cheese.

4. **Melt the cheese:**
Return the open croissant sandwiches to the oven for another 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

5. **Serve and enjoy:**
Close the croissants and serve immediately with a side of fries, a salad, or any dipping sauces you love!

## Tips & Variations

– **Different Cheese Options**: While provolone is traditional, you can also try cheddar, mozzarella, or even a combination of cheeses to suit your taste.
