Description

Juicy, tender Philly Cheesesteak made with thinly sliced ribeye, caramelized onions, and melty provolone cheese, all packed into a toasted hoagie roll with a flavorful garlic mayo spread. Perfect for an authentic taste of Philadelphia!


Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ribeye, fat trimmed, very thinly sliced

  • 1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 large sweet onion, chopped

  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 1 garlic clove, grated

  • 4 tablespoons salted butter, softened

  • 4 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise

  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

  • 8 slices sharp or mild provolone cheese


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F with a rack in the center position.

  • Season beef with 1½ teaspoons salt. Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet over high heat.

  • Working in batches, cook beef until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

  • Lower heat to medium and cook onions in the same skillet with remaining ¼ teaspoon salt until browned and soft, about 7–8 minutes.

  • Mix mayonnaise and grated garlic in a small bowl.

  • Spread butter on cut sides of hoagie rolls. Toast in the oven, cut side up, for about 4 minutes.

  • Remove rolls from oven and spread each with garlic mayo.

  • Return beef to skillet with onions. Add black pepper and stir until warmed through.

  • Top beef and onions with provolone slices. Let cheese melt.

  • Divide mixture evenly among toasted rolls. Serve immediately.


Notes

  • Freeze ribeye slightly before slicing to make cutting easier.

  • Substitute provolone with American or cheese whiz for a different flavor.

  • Use a griddle for a more authentic street-food-style experience.
