Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
- In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Add the thinly sliced blade roast to the marinade, ensuring each slice is well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.

2. Grill the Blade Roast:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the marinated blade roast slices on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove and set aside.

Optional: Smoke a whole blade roast until an internal temperature of 175-180 degrees F, then slice

3. Sauté Onions and Peppers:
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the thinly sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet and sauté until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

4. Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Split the sub rolls or hoagie buns in half and place them on the grill, cut side down, until they're lightly toasted.

- Lay two slices of Provolone cheese on the bottom half of each toasted bun.

- Distribute the grilled blade roast slices evenly over the cheese.

- Top the steak with the sautéed onions and peppers.

- Place two more slices of Provolone cheese on top of the onions and peppers.

- Close the sandwiches with the top half of the toasted buns.

5. Grill the Sandwiches:
- Carefully return the assembled sandwiches to the grill and cook them for 2-3 minutes per side or until the bread is crisp and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Serve:
- Remove the grilled Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches from the grill and serve them hot. You can also wrap them in foil to keep warm until ready to serve.
