Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Steak

    Thinly slice the ribeye steak against the grain into strips. This will ensure tenderness.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the onion, mushrooms, and green bell pepper into thin strips. If using hot or sweet peppers, slice them as well.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Vegetables

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, green bell pepper, and mushrooms. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 4

    Cook the Steak

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the sliced ribeye steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until browned and cooked through.

  3. 5

    Combine and Melt Cheese

    Return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet with the cooked steak. Mix well to combine. Place the slices of white American cheese over the steak and vegetables. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the Rolls

    Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Optionally, toast them lightly on a skillet if desired.

  2. 7

    Fill the Rolls

    Using a spatula, carefully scoop the cheesy steak and vegetable mixture and fill each hoagie roll generously. Optionally, top with hot or sweet peppers.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Serve the cheesesteaks hot with your choice of sides. Enjoy!
