Description
A delicious cheesesteak sandwich loaded with thinly sliced steak, melted provolone cheese, and sautéed vegetables, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds top sirloin steak or ribeye, trimmed and sliced thin
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 8 slices mild provolone cheese
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 hoagie rolls, sliced through
- 4 oz sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
Instructions
- Place the steak in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up for slicing.
- Once firm, trim the excess fat and season it with salt and pepper.
- Chop your onions and slice the bell peppers, setting them aside for later.
- Use a serrated knife to split the hoagie rolls lengthwise, keeping them attached about ¾ of the way through.
- Combine softened butter and minced garlic, then spread the garlic butter on the cut sides of the hoagie rolls. Toast them on a griddle or skillet over medium heat until golden brown.
- In a large skillet or griddle, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions for 8-10 minutes until slightly caramelized, then transfer them to a bowl and set aside.
- Raise the heat to medium-high and add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. When hot, evenly lay the thinly sliced steak in the pan.
- Cook the steak for 2-3 minutes without moving to achieve a good sear, then flip it and cook the other side.
- Add the sautéed onions, bell peppers, and any optional mushrooms back to the pan, stirring to combine.
- Using a spatula, divide the meat and veggies into four portions in the pan. Top each portion with two slices of provolone cheese, then turn off the heat.
- Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the toasted hoagie rolls. Place a roll over each portion, using a spatula to flip the meat onto the roll, sealing in all the delicious flavors.
- Serve promptly and enjoy your homemade cheesesteak!
