Instructions
Step1: Prepare the Steak
- Place the ribeye steak in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm up. This makes slicing easier.
- Once chilled, thinly slice the steak against the grain using a sharp knife.
Step2: Sauté the Vegetables
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add sliced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and become caramelized.
- Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step3: Cook the Steak
- In the same skillet, add the sliced steak.
- Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Sear the steak over high heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until browned.
Step4: Melt the Cheese
- Lower the heat to medium and return the cooked vegetables to the pan.
- Place slices of cheese over the steak and let them melt for 1-2 minutes.
- Stir gently to combine the melted cheese with the meat.
Step5: Assemble the Sandwich
- Toast the hoagie rolls with a little butter.
- Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise (optional).
- Fill each roll with the cheesesteak mixture.
Notes
- Use high-quality ribeye steak for the most tender and flavorful results.
- Freeze the steak for easier slicing.
- Cook on high heat to sear the meat properly.
- Avoid overcooking—you want the steak juicy, not dry.
- Choose the right cheese—Provolone, American, or Cheez Whiz for authentic flavors.
