Ingredients
  

  • 1½ lb ribeye steak very thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
  • 1 large onion thinly sliced
  • 1 large green bell pepper optional, thinly sliced
  • 8 slices provolone cheese or cheese of choice
  • 4 hoagie rolls split and lightly toasted
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the sliced onions (and bell peppers if using) and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and lightly caramelized. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining oil to the pan and increase heat to high.
  4. Add the thinly sliced beef in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Cook quickly, stirring and chopping with a spatula until just cooked through.
  5. Return the cooked onions to the pan and mix with the beef.
  6. Divide the meat mixture into four portions and top each with provolone cheese slices.
  7. Reduce heat to low and allow the cheese to melt, covering the pan briefly if needed.
  8. Transfer each cheesy beef portion into a toasted hoagie roll and serve immediately.

Notes

For authentic Philly flavor, avoid over-seasoning and use ribeye steak sliced paper-thin. Cheese Whiz or American cheese can be substituted for provolone if desired. Serve immediately for best texture.
