Ingredients
Cheesesteaks
-
2 pounds ribeye steak
-
2 teaspoons salt
-
1 teaspoon pepper
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
-
1 large yellow onion, sliced thinly
-
1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
1 large yellow bell pepper, sliced thinly
-
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
-
5 hoagie rolls or sub buns
-
10 slices provolone cheese
Garlic Butter
-
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
-
4 cloves minced garlic
-
1 tablespoon chives
-
¼ teaspoon salt
Directions
Make the garlic butter: mix the ingredients for your garlic butter and set aside.
Partially freeze the ribeye for 30 minutes before slicing. Slice very thinly against the grain, then season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a 12 inch skillet over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes.
Add the onions and bell peppers, and season with a pinch of salt. Sauté until softened and beginning to caramelize, about 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a platter and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and sear the steak in batches in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until just cooked through.
Return the onions and peppers to the skillet and toss together with Worcestershire sauce, then remove the skillet from the heat.
Spread garlic butter over the split hoagie rolls and place them cut side down in the hot skillet. Toast lightly for 1-2 minutes.
Assemble the sandwiches. Place one slice of provolone on the bun, top with a mountain of beef and onions, and top again with another slice of cheese.
