Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 lb ribeye steak, thinly sliced
Vegetables
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
Dairy
- 8 slices Provolone cheese (or cheddar)
Bread
- 4 hoagie rolls, split and toasted
Others
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the steak: Partially freeze the ribeye steak for about 30 minutes to make slicing easier. Then slice it as thinly as possible against the grain to ensure tenderness.
- Sauté the vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers (if using). Season with salt and pepper and sauté until caramelized and softened, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the steak: Increase the heat to high and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the thinly sliced steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook quickly, stirring often, until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Divide the cooked steak into four portions directly in the skillet.
- Assemble the sandwiches: On the bottom half of each toasted hoagie roll, layer one portion of cooked steak, then the sautéed onions and bell peppers. Top each with two slices of Provolone cheese.
- Melt the cheese: Place the assembled sandwiches under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and place the top half of each hoagie roll on the sandwich. Serve hot immediately for the best experience.
Notes
- Partially freezing the steak makes it much easier to slice thinly.
- Bell peppers are optional but add great flavor and color.
- Use Provolone cheese for an authentic Philly flavor; cheddar can be a tasty substitute.
- Keep a close eye when broiling to avoid burning the cheese.
- For an extra kick, you can add hot peppers or your favorite sandwich sauce.
