Instructions

Instructions

  • Slice the 1 pound ribeye very thinly against the grain; set the sliced steak aside.
  • Cut the 4 hoagie rolls lengthwise, keeping one side attached. Spread the 2 tablespoons softened butter on the cut sides and toast the cut sides in a hot skillet until lightly browned and golden. Remove the rolls and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced medium yellow onion, sliced green bell pepper, and 8 ounces sliced mushrooms. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are lightly browned and the onions are translucent (about 5–7 minutes). Transfer the vegetables to a plate and set aside.
  • Wipe the skillet if it is excessively browned, then heat the remaining 2 teaspoons canola oil over medium-high heat. Spread the sliced steak in a single layer in the skillet (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding). Evenly season the steak with the ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper.
  • Cook the steak until browned on the first side, about 1–2 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until the strips are cooked through, another 1–2 minutes.
  • Return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet with the cooked steak and stir to combine. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Arrange the 8 slices of provolone cheese over the steak-and-vegetable mixture (about 2 slices per sandwich). Cover the skillet briefly (or place a lid over it) for about 1 minute, until the cheese has gently melted.
  • Divide the warm cheesy steak mixture evenly among the toasted hoagie rolls, stuffing each roll. Serve immediately.

Notes

Freeze your steak for about 30 minutes before slicing it. This will allow your knife to cut much thinner slices of meat.
When slicing the hoagie rolls, don’t slice all the way through, the buns should be attached from one side. So only slice like ¾ through.
Use American cheese in place of the provolone for a creamier texture. Or smoked provolone cheese for more flavor.
