# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 lb ribeye steak, very thinly sliced
02 - 1 tbsp vegetable oil or butter
03 - 1 large onion, thinly sliced
04 - 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
05 - 4 hoagie rolls or sub buns
06 - 8 slices provolone cheese (or Cheese Whiz, for a classic touch)
07 - Salt and black pepper, to taste

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
02 - Add the sliced onions (and bell peppers, if using) and sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized.
03 - Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet.
04 - Add the thinly sliced beef to the empty side and cook for 2–3 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula, until just browned.
05 - Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix the beef and vegetables together.
06 - Divide the beef and vegetable mixture into four piles in the skillet. Top each pile with two slices of provolone cheese.
07 - Let the cheese melt for about 1 minute.
08 - Slice the hoagie rolls open and place them over each pile to steam slightly.
09 - Carefully scoop the filling into the rolls using a spatula.
10 - Serve hot, with extra cheese sauce if desired.

# Additional Notes:

01 - For a more authentic Philly flavor, use Cheese Whiz instead of provolone.
02 - Ribeye steak is traditional for its rich marbling, but sirloin can be used as a leaner option.
03 - Freeze the steak for 30 minutes before slicing for easier, thinner cuts.
