Ingredients

  • 4 hoagie or sub rolls sliced in half lengthwise
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter divided
  • ½ green bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 white onion peeled, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1½ pounds ribeye steaks thinly sliced, then roughly chopped
  • salt & pepper
  • 12 lices Provolone cheese

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place each hoagie roll on a large square of aluminum foil; set aside.
  2. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the pepper and onion to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are completely cooked down and starting to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  3. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the now-empty skillet. Season the beef with salt and pepper and add to the skillet, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add back in the peppers and onions and stir to combine. Place 4 slices of the provolone cheese over the mixture and let sit for a minute or two until it starts to melt, then stir into the beef and vegetable mixture until completely combined. Turn off the heat.
  4. Divide the meat mixture between the four hoagie rolls, topping each with 2 slices of the provolone cheese. Wrap and roll each one tightly in foil, place in the oven, and heat for 30 minutes. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Nutritional values are based on one serving
  • Steak: Ribeye is the recommended cut of meat. If you need to substitute, look for a very well-marbled (more fat = more tender) alternative such as short rib or hanger steak (if you have a butcher counter at your store, they would definitely be able to help with an appropriate substitute based on their inventory).
  • Rolls: Use hoagie rolls, a cut-up baguette, or order Amoroso's Hoagie Rolls to make them really authentic!
  • Peppers: While I love the flavor they add, you can omit them if desired.
  • Cheese: Provolone is fantastic in these sandwiches, but you can substitute American cheese, Velveeta, or Cheez Wiz for a great melty, traditional cheesesteak.
  • Freezing Directions: Follow the steps until you fill the hoagies with the beef and onion mixture. Allow to cool completely and then wrap tightly in foil. Store in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag until you are ready to make the sandwiches. Place foil-wrapped sandwiches in the oven at 350° and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Leftovers: Store any leftover sandwiches wrapped well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven, toaster oven or microwave.
