Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ribeye steak
- 1 yellow onion
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions
Place the ribeye steak in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to firm up slightly. This will make it easier to slice thinly.
While the steak firms up, peel and thinly slice the yellow onion.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes or until they are soft and golden brown. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
Retrieve the ribeye steak from the freezer and use a sharp knife to slice it as thinly as possible. Season the sliced steak with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the thinly sliced steak in small batches. Cook for 2-3 minutes per batch, stirring and ensuring the meat is evenly browned.
Reduce the heat to low, return all the cooked steak to the skillet, and mix in the caramelized onions. Stir well to combine.
Lay the slices of provolone cheese over the steak and onions mixture in the skillet. Cover with a lid for 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt completely.
Split the hoagie rolls in half and optionally toast them lightly on a skillet or in the oven. You can spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the insides, if desired.
Spoon the steak, onion, and melted cheese mixture generously into each hoagie roll.
Serve the Philly cheesesteaks hot, and enjoy a delicious taste of Philadelphia!
