Cheesesteak Ribeye Hoagie (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 4 sandwich rolls, split most of the way through
02 - 8 slices provolone cheese (mild)
03 - 1 large onion, chopped finely
04 - 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, or adjust to your taste
05 - 1/2 tsp fine sea salt, or more if needed
06 - 1 lb ribeye steak, sliced very thin and trimmed

→ Condiments and Butter

07 - 1 garlic clove, mashed into a paste
08 - 2 Tbsp softened unsalted butter
09 - 2-4 Tbsp mayo, adjust to your preference

# Instructions:

01 - With a serrated knife, carefully cut each roll most of the way through. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter and the mashed garlic. Use a knife to coat the inside of the rolls with the garlic butter, then place them on a flat griddle, skillet, or cooktop over medium heat. Toast until they're golden brown and take them off the heat.
02 - Chop the onion into small pieces. Warm up a pan with 1 tablespoon of oil on medium heat. Toss in the onions and stir around until they soften and caramelize. Once done, move them into a separate dish.
03 - Turn up the heat to high and pour 1 tablespoon of oil into the pan. Spread out the thin slices of steak in the pan and let them sit without stirring for 2 minutes to brown. Flip the slices, sprinkle them with salt and pepper, and let them cook through. Stir the caramelized onions back into the steak mixture.
04 - Divide the cooked steak mixture into four even piles. Lay 2 slices of provolone over each pile. Turn off the heat and give the cheese a moment to melt while the meat stays warm.
05 - Spread mayo onto the toasted inside of each roll. Use a spatula to lift each cheesy-steak portion and place it directly into a roll. Press the halves together and enjoy your sandwich while it's still warm.

# Notes:

01 - For easier cutting, chill the steak in the freezer for 30 minutes if it's thin, or up to 40 minutes if it's a thicker cut.
