Philly Cheesesteak

Instructions

  1. 1

    Freeze the ribeye for 30-45 minutes to make slicing easier. Using a sharp knife, slice the meat as thinly as possible against the grain.

  2. 2

    Slice the onion and bell pepper into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick).

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add the onions and peppers, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Remove and set aside.

  4. 4

    In the same skillet, add the remaining oil and increase heat to high. Add the sliced steak in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and let it sear for 30 seconds without moving it.

  5. 5

    Using a metal spatula, quickly chop and flip the meat as it cooks, breaking it into smaller pieces. Cook for 2-3 minutes total until just cooked through.

  6. 6

    Reduce heat to low and push the meat into 4 separate piles shaped like the hoagie rolls. Top each pile with the cooked onions and peppers, then layer the provolone cheese on top.

  7. 7

    Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.

  8. 8

    While the cheese melts, split the hoagie rolls lengthwise and spread butter on the inside. Toast them on a griddle or in a toaster oven until golden.

  9. 9

    Using a large spatula, carefully transfer each meat and cheese pile into a toasted roll. Serve immediately while hot.

Chef's Note

"This authentic Philly cheesesteak brings the iconic sandwich straight to your kitchen. The key is slicing the ribeye paper-thin and letting that melted provolone work its magic—trust the process and you'll nail it every time!"
