Ingredients
Scale
Meats:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ribeye steak, thinly sliced
Vegetables:
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 large bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup (150 grams) sliced mushrooms
Seasonings and Additions:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) soy sauce
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams) crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a large skillet by heating olive oil over medium-high temperature, creating a sizzling base for caramelizing vegetables.
- Sauté sliced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms for 5-7 minutes until they develop a golden, slightly charred exterior. Incorporate minced garlic and cook for an additional minute to enhance aromatic complexity.
- Transfer the vegetable medley to a separate plate, reserving the flavorful skillet for searing the ribeye steak.
- Lay thin ribeye slices into the hot skillet, cooking 2-3 minutes per side to achieve desired doneness. Enhance with Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes.
- Reunite the sautéed vegetables with the seasoned steak, gently tossing to distribute flavors evenly.
- Activate oven broiler and position hoagie rolls on a baking sheet, toasting lightly for 1-2 minutes until edges become golden and crisp.
- Distribute the steak and vegetable mixture across toasted rolls, creating generous, hearty portions.
- Layer two provolone cheese slices atop each sandwich, ensuring complete coverage.
- Slide sandwiches under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, allowing cheese to melt into a luxurious, bubbling blanket.
- Serve piping hot, presenting a restaurant-quality cheesesteak experience directly from your kitchen.
Notes
- Slice meat against the grain for maximum tenderness and easier chewing, ensuring each bite is melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
- Use high-quality ribeye steak for rich flavor and optimal texture, preferring fresh cuts from a trusted butcher if possible.
- Pat meat dry before cooking to achieve perfect caramelization and prevent steaming instead of searing the protein.
- Select sturdy hoagie rolls that can handle hearty fillings without falling apart, toasting them briefly to add crispy texture.
- For gluten-free version, swap hoagie rolls with gluten-free alternatives and use tamari instead of traditional soy sauce.
- Keep vegetables slightly crisp to maintain fresh flavor and provide delightful textural contrast within the sandwich.
- Consider adding fresh herbs like chopped parsley or green onions as a final garnish for brightness and extra flavor complexity.
