Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Cheese

  • 8 oz thinly sliced ribeye beef
  • 4 slices provolone cheese or 1/4 cup cheese whiz

Bread

  • 1 fresh hoagie roll

Vegetables

  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced (optional)

Seasonings and Cooking

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the ribeye beef into thin strips, dice the onions and bell peppers if using, and have your cheese and rolls ready. Thin slices ensure quick cooking and tender texture.
  2. Cook the Vegetables: Sauté the diced onions and bell peppers in butter or oil over medium heat until softened and slightly caramelized, developing sweetness and depth.
  3. Cook the Beef: In a hot skillet, cook the thinly sliced ribeye beef seasoned with salt and pepper, spreading it in a single layer. Cook for several minutes until browned but still juicy.
  4. Combine Beef and Vegetables: Mix the cooked onions and peppers with the beef in the skillet to blend flavors evenly.
  5. Add the Cheese: Place provolone slices or spoon cheese whiz over the beef and vegetables, cover the skillet to melt the cheese until gooey and delicious.
  6. Assemble the Sandwich: Slice the hoagie roll open, gently fill with the cheesy beef and vegetable mixture, and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Use thin slices of beef to ensure quick cooking and tender bites.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook beef in batches if needed for even browning.
  • Cover the skillet after adding cheese to melt it evenly and faster.
  • Lightly toast the hoagie roll for added texture and to prevent sogginess.
  • Serve the sandwich hot for the best flavor with gooey cheese and juicy beef.
