Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ribeye steak, thinly sliced Or any cut you prefer, but ribeye is king!
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 pieces hoagie rolls
  • 8 slices provolone cheese Or more, as preferred.
  • Optional toppings: sliced mushrooms, hot peppers, or any toppings you fancy

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If your butcher didn’t do the slicing, freeze the ribeye for about 30 minutes to make it easier to slice thin.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and wait for it to shimmer.
  2. Toss in the sliced onions and peppers (and mushrooms if you’re feeling adventurous) and sauté until soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-10 minutes.
  3. Push the onions and peppers to one side of the skillet, add the steak to the other side, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, roughly 4-5 minutes.
  4. Combine the veggies and steak in the pan, layer the provolone cheese on top, and cover with a lid for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.
  5. Stuff the warm hoagie rolls with the meat and cheese mixture, add optional toppings as desired.
  6. Plate and enjoy your cheesesteaks!

Notes

Slice the meat thin for best results. Let everyone customize their cheesesteaks with different toppings to accommodate picky eaters.
