Season the thinly sliced ribeye steak with salt and black pepper evenly.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ribeye slices and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Remove the cooked steak from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Once melted, add the thinly sliced yellow onion. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until they are soft and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the cut side of each half of the hoagie rolls or ciabatta bread.
Build the panini by layering one side of the bread with half of the cooked steak, half of the caramelized onions, and 2 slices of provolone cheese. Place the other half of the bread on top to form a sandwich. Repeat for the second sandwich.
Heat a panini press or a large skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, place another heavy skillet or pan on top of the sandwiches to press them down while cooking.
Cook the panini for about 3-5 minutes per side, or until the bread is crispy and golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the panini from the heat, slice in half if desired, and serve warm.
