ingredients
Steps
Prepare Onions
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tbsp of olive oil and the butter. Add the thinly sliced onions and sauté for about 10-15 minutes until they are golden brown and caramelized. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
Cook Beef
Add another 1 tbsp of olive oil to the same skillet and heat over high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef (in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan) and cook quickly for 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine and Cheese
Return the caramelized onions to the skillet with the beef and mix well. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions in the pan. Place 2-3 slices of provolone cheese on top of each portion and let the cheese melt (you can cover the skillet for a minute to speed up melting).
Assemble Sandwich
Carefully scoop the cheesy beef and onion mixture into a hoagie roll. Repeat with the remaining portions. Serve immediately while hot and the cheese is still gooey.
Extra Tips
► It's easier to slice the beef thinly if you place it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes beforehand to firm it up slightly.
► If you like spicy flavors, add a few sliced jalapeños or hot peppers to the onions.
► Lightly toast the rolls in the pan or oven before filling them for an even crispier result.
