Method

Prep

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Slice the large onion and bell pepper into thin strips. Clean and slice the mushrooms. Set all the vegetables aside.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Caramelize the Onions and Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.

  2. 3

    Add Peppers and Mushrooms

    Once the onions are caramelized, add the sliced bell peppers and mushrooms to the skillet. Season with black pepper and additional salt if desired. Sauté for another 5-7 minutes until the peppers are tender and mushrooms are cooked through.

  3. 4

    Cook the Shaved Ribeye

    Push the vegetable mixture to one side of the skillet, and add the shaved ribeye to the other side. Cook the meat for about 3-5 minutes until just browned, then mix the vegetables with the meat to combine.

  4. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    Layer the Swiss cheese over the ribeye and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt for about 2-3 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Cheesesteak

    Slice the baguette lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Spoon the ribeye and vegetable mixture into the baguette, ensuring an even distribution of meat and veggies.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve

    Cut the filled baguette into portions and serve warm. Enjoy your Sanibel Cheesesteak!
