These sandwiches are so speedy to assemble, and they'll be gone in a flash; it's hard not to wolf down Pennsylvania Cheesesteak!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 clove garlic, pressed
- 4 hoagie rolls, each sliced 3/4 of the way through horizontally
- 2 tablespoons neutral-flavored oil, divided
- 1 sweet onion, diced
- 1 pound rib-eye steak, trimmed, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 slices mild provolone cheese
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- fresh parsley, optional, to taste, chopped, for garnish
Directions
Step 1 -In a small bowl, add the softened butter and the garlic and stir to combine.
Step 2 -Spread the garlic-butter evenly on the cut-sides of each of the hoagie rolls.
Step 3 -In a large skillet or on a griddle over medium heat, add the hoagie rolls, buttered-side down, and toast until golden-brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4 -In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of the oil.
Step 5 -Add the diced onions to the hot oil and cook, while stirring gently, until caramelized, about 10 minutes.
Step 6 -Transfer the caramelized onions to a bowl.
Step 7 -Increase the stovetop heat to high.
Step 8 -Add the remaining oil to the skillet and heat it.
Step 9 -Add the thinly sliced beef in an even layer to the hot oil and cook, undisturbed, until browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes.
Step 10 -Flip the beef and immediately season it evenly with the salt and the black pepper.
Step 11 -Cook the beef, while chopping it with the side of a metal spatula, until no pink remains and it is fully cooked, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 12 -Add the caramelized onions to the beef and stir to combine.
Step 13 -Divide the beef mixture into 4 even portions in the skillet.
Step 14 -Top each of the beef portions with 2 slices of the cheese and immediately turn off the stovetop heat.
Step 15 -As the cheese melts, chop the cheese into the beef mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Step 16 -Spread a thin layer of the mayonnaise on the toasted-side of each of the hoagie rolls.
Step 17 -Place a toasted roll, cut-side down, over each of the beef portions in the skillet. To avoid overcrowding, you may need to do this in batches.
Step 18 -Using the metal spatula, scrape the beef and cheese mixture into the bun and flip it onto a plate.
Step 19 -Serve the cheesesteaks warm garnished with the parsley.
