A classic Philly cheesesteak featuring thinly sliced ribeye, caramelized onions, and melted provolone cheese, perfect for quick, comforting meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 g) ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • 6 slices provolone cheese
  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 hoagie rolls
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and thinly slice 2 large yellow onions (about 5 minutes).
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat in a skillet. Add onions with a pinch of salt and stir frequently for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Lower heat or add water if onions start to burn.
  3. While onions caramelize, slice 1 pound ribeye steak as thin as possible. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well.
  4. Push onions to the side of the pan. Increase heat to medium-high, add more olive oil if needed, and spread steak slices evenly. Sear without stirring for 1-2 minutes, then stir gently for 2-3 minutes until cooked but juicy.
  5. Mix caramelized onions with cooked steak in the pan. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Slice hoagie rolls open but not all the way through. Toast in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5 minutes until slightly crisp.
  7. Divide steak and onion mixture evenly among rolls. Layer 1-2 slices provolone cheese on top of hot steak to melt. Optionally broil for 1-2 minutes for extra melt.
  8. Serve immediately while hot and fresh.

Notes

Freeze steak for 30 minutes before slicing for easier thin cuts. Caramelize onions low and slow for best sweetness. Avoid overcrowding pan when searing steak. Use broiler briefly to melt cheese if desired. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for 2 days; reheat gently in skillet or oven to avoid soggy bread.
