Method

For the Caramelized Onions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Onions

    In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, sugar, and salt, and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.

For the Steak Melt

  1. 3

    Assemble the Melt

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). On each sub roll, layer the thinly sliced roast beef and the caramelized onions. Top each with 2 slices of provolone cheese.

  2. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the assembled sub rolls on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and season with black pepper.

For the Onion Soup Dipping

  1. 5

    Prepare the Soup

    In a saucepan, combine the beef broth, sliced yellow onions, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 15 minutes.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Pour the onion soup into small bowls for dipping and serve alongside the steak melts.
