Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ribeye steak
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 Yellow onion
- 1 Green bell pepper (optional)
- 8 slices Provolone cheese
- 4 Soft hoagie rolls
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Place the ribeye steak in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to slightly firm up (this makes it easier to slice thinly).
Once the steak is firm but not frozen solid, slice it as thinly as possible against the grain. Sprinkle the slices with salt and pepper.
Slice the yellow onion and, if using, the green bell pepper into thin strips.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Add the onion (and green bell pepper, if using) to the skillet and sauté until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced ribeye steak. Cook, stirring and breaking up the slices, for about 2-3 minutes, or until the steak is just cooked through.
Lower the heat to medium-low and return the cooked onions and peppers to the skillet, mixing them with the steak.
Lay the slices of provolone cheese over the steak and vegetables, allowing the cheese to melt completely. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Meanwhile, slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. Lightly butter the inside of the rolls and toast them on a griddle or skillet until just golden brown.
Use a spatula to scoop the steak, cheese, and vegetable mixture into the toasted hoagie rolls.
Serve immediately, with a side of crispy fries or chips if desired. Enjoy your authentic Philly Cheesesteak!
