Equipment

  • Large cast iron skillet or flat top grill
  • Sharp chef knife for slicing beef
  • Cutting board
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Bowls for prepping ingredients
  • Tongs
  • Foil (optional for keeping rolls warm)

Ingredients
  

For the beef

  • 1 pound ribeye steak thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the veggies

  • 1 large onion thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced (optional but adds great sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons butter

For the cheese

  • 6 8 slices of provolone or American cheese
  • Optional: Cheez Whiz if you want full classic vibes

For the bread

  • 3 4 soft hoagie rolls
  • Butter for toasting

Optional extras

  • Mushrooms sliced
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Garlic powder
  • Mayo

Instructions
 

Prep the beef

  • Pop your ribeye steak in the freezer for about 30 minutes. This makes slicing thin much easier. Slice against the grain for tenderness.
  • Season lightly with salt and pepper. Keep it simple. The steak flavor will shine.

Cook the veggies

  • Heat butter in your skillet over medium heat. Add onions and peppers. Cook until soft, sweet, and golden. This takes around 8 to 10 minutes. Do not rush this step. The veggies carry so much of the sandwich flavor.
  • Move the veggies to one side of the skillet.

Cook the steak

  • Add olive oil to the empty side of the skillet. Drop in the thin steak slices and cook them fast. They should brown slightly but stay tender. Break up the meat with your spatula.
  • Once cooked, mix the beef and veggies together.

Melt the cheese

  • Lay cheese slices right on top of the hot beef mixture. Cover the skillet for 30 seconds to let the cheese melt.

Toast the rolls

  • Lightly butter the hoagie rolls and toast them in another skillet until golden.

Build the sandwich

  • Pile the cheesy beef and veggies into the toasted rolls. Press gently so all the flavors settle in.

Serve hot

  • These sandwiches taste best when the cheese is still soft and gooey.
