Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 large thinly sliced yellow onion and 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cooking and stirring occasionally for 15 minutes until onions are deeply golden and caramelized.
2. Step 2: In the same skillet, push onions to the side and add 12 oz thinly sliced ribeye steak seasoned with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Sear the steak over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until just cooked through and browned.
3. Step 3: Reduce heat to low, spread the cooked steak evenly in the pan, and layer 4 slices provolone cheese over the steak and onions. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for 2-3 minutes.
4. Step 4: Meanwhile, split 2 hoagie rolls and toast them lightly under a broiler or in a toaster oven for 1-2 minutes until golden and crisp.
5. Step 5: Using a spatula, transfer the cheesy steak and onion mixture onto the toasted hoagie rolls, dividing evenly to assemble sandwiches. Serve hot.
