Ingredients
- 2 pounds ribeye steak trimmed and sliced very thin
- 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 1 large yellow onion chopped
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil or canola oil divided
- 8 lices mild provolone cheese white American cheese, or melted Cheez Whiz
- 4 Hoagie rolls sliced 3/4 way through
- 4 Tablespoons salted butter softened
- 1 garlic clove finely minced
- 2-4 Tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions
- Freeze steak for 30 minutes so it is firm enough to be sliced into very thin strips using a sharp knife. Trim away any excess fat before slicing and be sure to slice as thin as you possibly can. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Chop onions and set aside. Carefully split the hoagie rolls lengthwise approximately 3/4 of the way through with a serrated knife.
- Combine softened butter and minced garlic in a bowl, mixing well. Spread the cut sides of the hoagie rolls with the garlic butter and toast on a griddle or skillet over medium heat until toasty and golden brown. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Sauté onions for 8-10 minutes until they begin to caramelize slightly. Transfer sautéed onions to a bowl and set aside.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add remaining tablespoon of oil to the same pan. Once hot, add the thinly sliced steak in an even layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes without moving or touching the meat in the pan to get a nice sear. Then turn the steak slices over with a large spatula to cook on the other side until done. Add the sautéed onions back to the pan with the meat and stir together.
- Use the spatula to separate the meat and onions into 4 portions in the pan. Cover each portion with 2 slices of provolone cheese and turn off the heat.
- Spread a thin layer of mayo on the cut sides of the toasted hoagie rolls, then place one roll over a portion of the meat, onions, and cheese. Use a spatula to help flip the meat onto the roll to finish your Philly cheesesteak. Serve immediately.

Notes
- Adding peppers: While not included in the original Philly cheesesteak, you can add 1 sliced green bell pepper and sauté it with the onions until softened.
