Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs (680 g) ribeye steak, thinly sliced
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 8 oz (225 g) mushrooms (cremini or button), sliced
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 2 tbsps butter, softened
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preparation: Partially freeze ribeye for precise, wafer-thin slicing, which facilitates easier cutting and ideal meat texture.
- Roll Preparation: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Gently butterfly hoagie rolls, brush interior with butter, and toast until achieving a delicate golden appearance on a baking sheet.
- Vegetable Sauté: Heat olive oil in a spacious skillet, caramelize onions and bell peppers until softened with golden edges. Add mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and develop a rich bronze coloration.
- Meat Searing: Increase skillet temperature and introduce steak slices. Allow meat to sear undisturbed, then swiftly maneuver to ensure uniform browning. Enhance flavor by adding Worcestershire sauce and seasoning.
- Cheese Integration: Combine sautéed vegetables with seared steak. Layer provolone cheese across the mixture, covering with a lid to create a steamy environment for precise cheese melting.
- Final Assembly: Transfer the molten steak and vegetable composition into buttered, toasted rolls, ensuring even distribution. Serve immediately to maintain optimal temperature and textural quality.
Notes
- Freeze Meat for Perfect Slicing: Chill ribeye in the freezer for 30 minutes to achieve ultra-thin, uniform slices without struggling with the knife.
- Butter and Toast Rolls Strategically: Generously butter hoagie rolls’ interior and toast until golden for a crispy, flavorful base that prevents sogginess and adds rich texture.
- Control Skillet Heat Carefully: Manage skillet temperature precisely when searing steak – high heat creates perfect caramelization while preventing meat from becoming tough or dry.
- Cheese Melting Technique: Cover skillet with lid briefly after adding cheese to create steam environment, ensuring smooth, complete melting without burning or uneven coverage.
