Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Ribeye steak, trimmed and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 large sweet onion, diced
  • 8 slices provolone cheese, mild not aged provolone
  • 4 pieces Hoagie rolls, sliced 3/4 through
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 clove garlic, pressed
  • 2-4 Tbsp mayonnaise, or to taste

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • spatula
  • serrated knife
  • mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Slice hoagie rolls 3/4 of the way through with a serrated knife. Dice onions and thinly slice beef.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together 2 Tbsp softened butter with 1 pressed garlic clove. Spread garlic butter onto the cut sides of 4 hoagie rolls. Toast the buns on a large skillet, flat cooktop or griddle on medium heat until golden brown, then set aside.
  3. Add 1 Tbsp oil to your pan/cooktop and sauté diced onions until softened. Sprinkle lightly with salt and cook until caramelized, then transfer to a bowl.
  4. Increase to high heat and add 1 Tbsp oil. Spread the super thinly sliced steak in an even layer. Let brown for a couple of minutes undisturbed then flip and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Sauté until steak is fully cooked through, then stir in the caramelized onions.
  5. Divide into 4 even portions and top each with 2 slices of cheese. Turn off the heat so the cheese will melt without overcooking the meat.
  6. Spread a thin layer of mayo on the toasted side of each roll. Working with one portion at a time, place a toasted bun over each portion and use a spatula to scrape the cheesy beef into your bun as you flip it over. Serve warm.
