A quick and easy Philly cheesesteak sandwich featuring thinly sliced ribeye steak, caramelized onions, and a blend of provolone and American cheese melted to perfection in a soft hoagie roll.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb thinly sliced ribeye steak
  • 4 hoagie rolls or soft Italian rolls
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 slices American cheese
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice ribeye steak as thin as possible (about 1/8 inch thick). Thinly slice onion and green bell pepper if using.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and peppers, stirring occasionally, and cook until soft and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Push veggies to the side, add 1 tbsp olive oil and the thinly sliced steak. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Spread steak evenly and cook without stirring for 2 minutes to sear, then stir and cook until browned but still juicy, about 5-7 minutes total.
  4. Mix steak with caramelized onions and peppers in the pan for 1-2 minutes to combine flavors.
  5. Layer provolone and American cheese slices on top of the steak mixture. Lower heat and cover the pan with a lid or foil to melt cheese evenly, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Slice hoagie rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Warm rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5 minutes if desired.
  7. Spoon the cheesy steak and onion mixture into each roll and serve immediately while hot and melty.

Notes

Freeze the steak slightly before slicing to make thin slicing easier. Caramelize onions slowly over medium heat to avoid bitterness. Use a heavy pan like cast iron or stainless steel for even heat. Cover the pan when melting cheese to keep it gooey. Cook steak in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding and steaming.
