🔪 Ingredients

1 lb (450g) ribeye steak, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
4 slices provolone cheese
4 hoagie rolls, split and toasted
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

🍳 Instructions

Prepare the Steak: Place the ribeye steak in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm it up, making it easier to slice thinly. Once firm, slice the steak as thinly as possible against the grain.
Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the sliced onions and green bell peppers until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Steak: In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high. Add the sliced steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes.
Combine Ingredients: Reduce the heat to low, return the sautéed onions and peppers to the skillet with the steak, and mix well. Place the provolone cheese slices over the mixture and allow them to melt. Once melted, stir to combine everything evenly.
Assemble Sandwiches: Divide the steak mixture among the toasted hoagie rolls. Serve immediately.

💡 Pro Tips

Cheese Choices: While provolone is traditional, some prefer Cheez Whiz or American cheese for a different flavor profile.
Bread Matters: Authentic Philly cheesesteaks are served on soft hoagie rolls. If unavailable, any soft sub roll will suffice.
Additions: For extra flavor, consider adding sautéed mushrooms or a dash of hot sauce.
