Ingredients

1.5 lbs Ribeye steak, very thinly sliced (can ask butcher to do this)2 tbsp Vegetable oil or canola oil1 large Yellow onion, thinly sliced1/2 tsp Salt1/4 tsp Black pepper6 slices Provolone cheese (or Cheez Whiz for traditionalists)3 Crusty hoagie rolls, split lengthwise

Instructions

1
To make slicing easier, place the ribeye steak in the freezer for about 30-45 minutes. Then, slice it very thinly against the grain. Cut these slices into smaller, bite-sized pieces if desired. Season the steak lightly with salt and pepper.
2
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Remove onions from the skillet and set aside.
3
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the hot skillet. Increase heat to high. Add the thinly sliced steak in a single layer and cook quickly for 1-2 minutes, flipping once, until browned but still tender. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
4
Once all the steak is cooked, return it to the skillet along with the caramelized onions. Mix them together on the skillet. Divide the mixture into three portions directly on the skillet.
5
Lay two slices of provolone cheese over each portion of the steak and onion mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
6
While the cheese melts, lightly toast the hoagie rolls. Open each roll and use a spatula to scoop one portion of the cheesy steak and onion mixture directly into each toasted roll. Serve immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to slice the steak thinly?

Partially freezing the steak for 30-45 minutes makes it much firmer and easier to slice very thin. Use a very sharp knife and slice against the grain for tender results.

Can I use a different type of cheese?

While provolone is classic, many also enjoy using Cheez Whiz for a more 'authentic' Philly street food experience. White American cheese is another popular and good melting option.

Are bell peppers traditional in a Philly Cheesesteak?

Authentic Philly cheesesteaks typically only include steak and onions (and cheese). However, green bell peppers are a popular addition in many regions and can be sautéed with the onions if you prefer.
