Main ingredients

Method

Preparation and cooking

  1. 1

    Freeze and slice the steak

    Place the ribeye in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to firm up for easy slicing. Slice the steak thinly against the grain.

  2. 2

    Season the steak

    Toss the sliced steak with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare vegetables

    Slice bell peppers into thin strips and onions into thin slices.

  4. 4

    Cook peppers and onions

    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add peppers and onions; sauté 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Remove to a plate.

  5. 5

    Cook the steak

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the seasoned steak in a single layer and sear 1-2 minutes per side until browned but still juicy. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if needed.

  6. 6

    Combine and melt cheese

    Return the vegetables to the skillet with the steak. Lay cheese slices over the mixture; cover and cook 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted and the meat is coated.

  7. 7

    Assemble the sandwiches

    Toast the rolls lightly if desired. Fill each roll with the hot steak, vegetables, and melted cheese. Serve immediately.
