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
- 2–4 Tbsp mayonnaise, or to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Rolls and Ingredients:
- Slice hoagie rolls 3/4 of the way through using a serrated knife.
- Dice onions and thinly slice the steak.
- Toast the Rolls:
- In a small bowl, mix softened butter with pressed garlic. Spread the garlic butter on the cut sides of the rolls.
- Toast the rolls on a large skillet or griddle over medium heat until golden brown. Set aside.
- Caramelize Onions:
- Heat 1 Tbsp oil in the skillet or cooktop and sauté the diced onions until caramelized. Transfer onions to a bowl.
- Cook the Steak:
- 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.
- Flip the steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook until fully cooked through. Stir in the caramelized onions.
- Melt the Cheese:
- 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.
- Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the toasted side of each hoagie roll.
- 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.
- Serve:
- 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.
