Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Slice the Rib Eye Steak

    Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the rib eye steak against the grain into strips. Aim for slices about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Prep the Vegetables

    Finely chop the onion and bell pepper. Set aside for later use.

  3. 3

    Slice the Pepperoni

    If using whole pepperoni slices, cut them into smaller strips or leave them as is based on your preference.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, and sauté until they are softened and beginning to caramelize, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 5

    Add the Steak and Pepperoni

    Increase the heat to high. Add the sliced rib eye steak and pepperoni to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the steak is cooked through, about 4-6 minutes.

  3. 6

    Melt the Cheese

    Reduce the heat to medium-low. Lay the provolone cheese slices over the steak and pepperoni mixture, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it cook until the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 7

    Prepare the Rolls

    While the cheese is melting, slice the sub rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Optionally, you can toast them lightly on a skillet or in the oven.

  5. 8

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Once the cheese has melted, use a spatula to scoop the steak, pepperoni, and cheese mixture into the prepared sub rolls. Serve immediately.
