- Method: Stovetop
- Cuisine: American
- 1 lb (450g) ribeye steak, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 8 oz (225g) provolone cheese or American cheese slices
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional, for spreading on rolls)
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced onions (and bell pepper if using) and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and lightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced ribeye steak. Season with salt and pepper, then cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is cooked through.
- Return the cooked onions (and peppers) to the skillet with the beef. Stir together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Divide the beef mixture into four portions in the skillet. Place cheese slices on top of each portion, and cover the skillet to melt the cheese, about 1-2 minutes.
- While the cheese is melting, toast the hoagie rolls in another skillet with butter until golden and crispy.
- Once the cheese has melted, use a spatula to scoop the beef mixture into the toasted rolls.
- Spread mayonnaise (if desired) on the inside of the rolls before adding the beef and cheese mixture.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- You can skip the bell pepper if you prefer a simpler version.
- For extra flavor, consider adding hot peppers or a little garlic to the onions while sautéing.
