Ingredients
  

  • 1½ lb ribeye steak thinly sliced
  • 4 hoagie rolls split
  • 1 large large yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter softened
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place the ribeye steak in the freezer for about 20–30 minutes. Slice it as thinly as possible against the grain.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and bell pepper. Cook for 6–8 minutes until softened.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the sliced steak and cook for 2–3 minutes until browned.
  • Season the steak with salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir everything together.
  • Lay the provolone cheese over the beef mixture. Cover the skillet and let the cheese melt for about 1 minute.
  • Spread butter inside the hoagie rolls and toast them until lightly golden.
  • Fill each toasted roll with the cheesy steak mixture. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

 
  • Freeze the steak for 20–30 minutes before slicing for extra-thin pieces.
  • Ribeye delivers the most authentic flavor, but sirloin is a leaner alternative.
  • Toasting the hoagie rolls helps keep them from becoming soggy.
  • White American cheese, Cheez Whiz, or mozzarella can be substituted for provolone.
  • Leftover filling can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days or frozen for 2 months.
