Description

Tender ribeye steak, melted provolone cheese, and sweet caramelized onions nestled in a toasted garlic butter hoagie roll create an authentic Philly cheesesteak experience right in your own kitchen.

Ingredients

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 sweet onion (large, diced)
8 slices provolone cheese (mild, not aged provolone)
4 Hoagie Rolls (sliced 3/4 through)
2 Tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
1 garlic clove (pressed)
2-4 Tbsp mayonnaise (or to taste)

Instructions

Using a serrated knife, cut the hoagie rolls about 3/4 of the way through. Prepare the onions by dicing and slice the beef thinly.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of softened butter with 1 pressed garlic clove. Apply the garlic butter to the cut sides of the hoagie rolls. Toast the buns on a skillet, flat cooktop, or griddle over medium heat until they turn golden brown, then set aside.
Pour 1 tablespoon of oil into your pan or cooktop and sauté the diced onions until they become tender. Lightly sprinkle with salt and continue cooking until they are caramelized, then transfer them to a bowl.
Raise the heat to high and add another tablespoon of oil. Spread the thinly sliced steak evenly in the pan. Allow it to brown for a couple of minutes without stirring, then flip it over and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook until the steak is thoroughly done, then mix in the caramelized onions.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions, placing 2 slices of cheese on top of each. Turn off the heat to let the cheese melt without overcooking the meat.
On the toasted side of each roll, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise. For each portion, place a toasted bun over it and use a spatula to transfer the cheesy beef into the bun as you flip it. Serve while warm.

Notes

TECHNIQUE TIP: Freeze the ribeye steak for 20-30 minutes before slicing for easier handling.

STORAGE: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

SUBSTITUTION: Replace onions with bell peppers or mushrooms for a different flavor.
