Homemade Philly Cheesesteak Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup softened unsalted butter, divided
• 2 (10-inch) hoagie buns, sliced lengthwise, but not completely through
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 1/2 pound ribeye steak, very thinly sliced
• Salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoons granulated garlic, more to taste
• 4 slices provolone cheese

Instructions

1. Gather the ingredients.
2. Divide the butter between the two rolls, spreading evenly over the cut sides.
3. Heat a griddle or a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Toast the rolls, buttered-side down, until golden. Set aside.
4. Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the oil and heat until it shimmers. Add the onions . Sauté until soft and beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.
5. Season the steak all over with salt and pepper to taste, and the granulated garlic. Add the steak to the pan in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary. Sear, undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and sear the other side until cooked through, about 1 minute.
6. Return the onion to the pan. Break apart the meat slices with two offset spatulas and toss with the onions.
7. While still in the pan, separate the mixture into two servings. Shingle each serving with 2 slices of cheese. Add a teaspoon of water to the pan to help steam and melt the cheese. Cover the pan and cook until the cheese has melted (if using a griddle, cover with a stainless-steel bowl).
8. Transfer each serving into the rolls. Serve immediately.
