Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Ribeye steak, trimmed and thinly sliced
  • ½ tsp Sea salt, or to taste
  • ½ tsp Black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 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

Method
 

  1. Slice the hoagie rolls 3/4 of the way through with a serrated knife. Dice the onions and thinly slice the beef.
  2. In a small bowl, mix 2 Tbsp softened butter with 1 pressed garlic clove. Spread the garlic butter onto the cut sides of the hoagie rolls. Toast the buns on a skillet or griddle until golden brown, then set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté the diced onions until caramelized, then transfer to a bowl.
  4. Increase the heat to high and add 1 Tbsp oil. Spread the thinly sliced steak in an even layer. Let it brown for a couple of minutes undisturbed, then flip and season with salt and pepper. Saute until fully cooked through, then stir in the caramelized onions.
  5. Divide the steak and onion mixture into 4 portions and top each with 2 slices of cheese. Turn off the heat so the cheese melts without overcooking the meat.
  6. Spread a thin layer of mayo on the toasted side of each roll. Working with one portion at a time, place a toasted bun over each portion and use a spatula to scrape the cheesy beef into your bun as you flip it over. Serve warm.

Notes

Pro Tip: For an extra flavor boost, try adding thinly sliced bell peppers and mushrooms to your Philly Cheesesteak filling. Sauté them along with the onions for a deliciously savory twist that will take your sandwich to the next level!
Variation: Feeling adventurous? Swap out the traditional ribeye steak for thinly sliced chicken breast or even portobello mushrooms for a tasty vegetarian twist on this classic recipe. Experiment with different cheeses like Swiss or cheddar for a unique flavor profile that suits your taste buds. The possibilities are endless – let your creativity shine!
