Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Onion Mixture
- 1 pound thinly sliced ribeye steak (or sirloin)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Sandwich Assembly
- 4 hoagie rolls or sub buns
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- Optional toppings: mayonnaise, sautéed mushrooms, hot peppers
Instructions
- Caramelize Onions: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and caramelized. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook Steak: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the thinly sliced steak and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
- Combine Ingredients: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, then return the caramelized onions to the skillet. Toss everything together to combine evenly and remove from heat.
- Prepare Sandwiches: Preheat your broiler. Slice the hoagie rolls open and place them open-faced on a baking sheet. Pile the steak and onion mixture evenly onto each roll.
- Melt Cheese: Top each sandwich with 2 slices of provolone cheese. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm. Add optional toppings such as mayonnaise, sautéed mushrooms, or hot peppers as desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor, toast the hoagie rolls with a little butter before assembling the sandwiches.
- Substitute provolone with white American or mozzarella cheese depending on your preference.
- You can prepare the caramelized onions ahead of time to save time on assembly day.
