Ingredients
  

Ribeye steak
  • 1.5 lb ribeye steak Thinly sliced.
Vegetables
  • 2 onions Sliced.
  • 2 green bell peppers Sliced.
Cooking and seasoning
  • 3 tbsp oil Use as needed for griddle.
  • 0.25 salt and pepper To taste (use salt and black pepper).
Cheese
  • 8 slice provolone cheese (or Cheese Whiz) Use provolone slices or Cheese Whiz.
Bread
  • 4 hoagie rolls Split before toasting.
  • 1 tbsp butter For toasting rolls (amount to taste).

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet

Method
 

Preheat and cook vegetables
  1. Heat a griddle to medium-high heat and add oil, letting it shimmer lightly before adding onions and peppers.
  2. Cook onions and peppers until caramelized, about 8-10 minutes, then move them to the side of the griddle.
Cook steak and melt cheese
  1. Season the thinly sliced ribeye with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Cook the steak on the hot griddle for 3-4 minutes, chopping with spatulas as it cooks.
  3. Divide the steak into 4 portions and top each portion with provolone (or Cheese Whiz), allowing the cheese to melt.
Toast rolls and assemble
  1. Butter and toast the hoagie rolls on the griddle until golden.
  2. Scoop each steak portion with onions and peppers into toasted rolls and serve immediately.

Notes

Pro tip: Keep the griddle hot before the steak goes on, so the meat cooks fast without steaming. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 days; reheat on a hot griddle or skillet until warm. Freezing isn’t recommended for the best cheese texture. For a lighter swap, use low-fat provolone or a reduced-fat cheese option while keeping the same cook times.
