Place the ribeye steak in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up slightly—this makes it easier to slice thinly.
While the steak is chilling, thinly slice the yellow onion and green bell pepper and set aside.
Once the steak is firm, use a sharp knife to slice it as thinly as possible against the grain for tender slices.
Season the steak slices with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Add the sliced onions and green bell peppers to the skillet, and sauté until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet and increase the heat to high.
Add the sliced steak in a single layer to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the cooked onions and peppers to the skillet with the beef and mix thoroughly.
Reduce the heat to low and place the slices of provolone cheese over the meat and vegetable mixture. Cover with a lid and let the cheese melt for about 2 minutes.
While the cheese is melting, split the hoagie rolls lengthwise and spread the insides with butter.
Toast the rolls, buttered-side down, in another skillet over medium heat until golden brown.
If desired, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the toasted hoagie roll.
Spoon the beef, onion, and pepper mixture into each hoagie roll, ensuring an even distribution of melted cheese on top.
Serve the Philly cheesesteak sandwiches hot and enjoy!
