Ingredients
  

For the Cheesesteaks

  • 1 pound ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 large sweet onion, diced
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 hoagie rolls
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Garlic Butter Rolls

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
Optional Toppings

  • Mayonnaise
  • Sliced mushrooms
  • Green bell peppers
  • Jalapeños
  • Hot sauce

Method
 

  1. Place the steak in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes, then slice it very thinly against the grain.
    Mix the softened butter and minced garlic. Spread the mixture inside the hoagie rolls and toast until lightly golden.
    Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the onions until soft and golden brown. Remove and set aside.
    Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high.
    Add the sliced steak in an even layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes before stirring. Season with salt and pepper.
    Continue cooking until the beef is browned and fully cooked.
    Return the onions to the skillet and stir to combine.
    Divide the mixture into four portions and top each portion with two slices of provolone cheese.
    Reduce heat to low and allow the cheese to melt completely.
    Transfer the cheesy steak mixture into the toasted rolls and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Partially freezing the steak makes thin slicing much easier.
  • Ribeye provides the most authentic flavor and texture.
  • Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure proper browning.
  • Toasting the rolls helps prevent sogginess.
  • Store leftover filling separately from the bread for the best results.
