Description

 

This Philly Cheesesteak is a classic, indulgent sandwich loaded with tender, thinly sliced ribeye steak, caramelized onions, and melted provolone cheese, all served on toasted hoagie rolls. Perfect for a quick and hearty meal!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb ribeye steak, trimmed and thinly sliced*
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 large sweet onion, diced
  • 8 slices provolone cheese, mild
  • 4 hoagie rolls, sliced 3/4 through
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 garlic clove, pressed
  • 24 Tbsp mayonnaise, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Rolls and Ingredients:
    1. Slice hoagie rolls 3/4 of the way through using a serrated knife.
    2. Dice onions and thinly slice the steak.
  2. Toast the Rolls:
    1. In a small bowl, mix softened butter with pressed garlic. Spread the garlic butter on the cut sides of the rolls.
    2. Toast the rolls on a large skillet or griddle over medium heat until golden brown. Set aside.
  3. Caramelize Onions:
    1. Heat 1 Tbsp oil in the skillet or cooktop and sauté the diced onions until caramelized. Transfer onions to a bowl.
  4. Cook the Steak:
    1. Increase heat to high and add another 1 Tbsp oil. Spread the thinly sliced steak in an even layer and let it brown undisturbed for a couple of minutes.
    2. Flip the steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook until fully cooked through. Stir in the caramelized onions.
  5. Melt the Cheese:
    1. Divide the cooked steak and onions into 4 portions in the skillet. Top each portion with 2 slices of provolone cheese and turn off the heat, allowing the cheese to melt without overcooking the meat.
  6. Assemble the Sandwiches:
    1. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the toasted side of each hoagie roll.
    2. Place a toasted bun over each portion of cheesy beef. Use a spatula to scoop the cheesy meat into the roll as you flip it over.
  7. Serve:
    1. Serve warm and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • For easier slicing, freeze the steak for 30–40 minutes before slicing. Freeze thicker steaks for 40 minutes and thinner ones for 30 minutes.
  • Add sautéed peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor, if desired.
