Description

A classic Philly cheesesteak made with thinly sliced ribeye, melty provolone, and sweet caramelized onions on a toasted hoagie roll.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 pounds ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 hoagie rolls, split
  • 8 slices provolone cheese

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  2. In the same skillet, heat oil over high heat. Add steak slices in a single layer and cook without stirring until browned, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook another minute. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Divide steak among the rolls. Top each with caramelized onions and 2 slices provolone. Place under broiler until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  4. Serve immediately.

Notes

For authentic flavor, use ribeye and slice it as thin as possible (partially freezing helps). Provolone is traditional, but Cheez Whiz is also classic.
