Ingredients
- 1 pound ribeye steak, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: ribeye steak, onion, green bell pepper, hoagie rolls, provolone cheese, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Prepare your ribeye steak by slicing it thinly against the grain. This will help ensure that the meat is tender when cooked.
- Slice the onion and green bell pepper into thin strips, making sure they are uniform for even cooking.
- Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Allow the oil to heat up for about a minute.
- Add the sliced onions and green bell peppers to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and slightly caramelized.
- Once the vegetables are cooked, push them to one side of the skillet. In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced ribeye steak. Season the steak with salt and pepper.
- Cook the steak for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is browned and cooked through. Make sure to mix it with the vegetables as it cooks.
- Once the steak is cooked, reduce the heat to low and lay the slices of provolone cheese over the steak and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid for about 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
- While the cheese is melting, prepare the hoagie rolls. You can slice them open lengthwise or leave them whole, depending on your preference.
- Once the cheese has melted, use a spatula to scoop the steak and cheese mixture into the hoagie rolls. Make sure to distribute the filling evenly among the rolls.
- Serve the Philly cheesesteaks hot, and enjoy your homemade creation!
Tips
- Slice Against the Grain: For the most tender ribeye, be sure to slice the meat thinly against the grain. This technique breaks down the muscle fibers, resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- Don’t Rush the Vegetables: Allow the onions and bell peppers to caramelize slightly for added sweetness and depth of flavor. Stir them occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Choose the Right Cheese: While provolone is traditional, feel free to mix it up with other cheeses like Cheez Whiz or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
- Keep it Hot: Serve your cheesesteaks immediately after assembling to enjoy the cheese at its gooey best. You can also warm the hoagie rolls slightly in the oven for an extra touch.
- Customize Your Fillings: Add mushrooms, jalapeños, or even a splash of hot sauce to personalize your cheesesteak. The options are endless!
