Ingredients

  • 6-8 ounces ribeye steak
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion
  • 2-3 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 hoagie roll
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper

Instructions

  1. 1Partially freeze the ribeye and slice it as thinly as possible against the grain. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. 2Heat olive oil in a large skillet or on a griddle over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. 3Push the onions to the side of the skillet. Turn the heat up to medium-high. Add the sliced steak to the hot surface and cook, using a spatula to chop and separate the slices. Cook until the steak is browned and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. 4Mix the cooked steak and onions together. Form the mixture into a pile the same length as your hoagie roll. Lay the provolone cheese slices over the top of the steak and onions. Let the cheese melt slightly, about 30 seconds.
  5. 5Using a spatula, carefully lift the steak, onions, and melted cheese and place it into the hoagie roll. Cut in half and serve immediately.
