Sandwiches

Open faced toasted hoagie bread topped with thinly sliced ribeye steak, sautéed onions and peppers, topped with melted provolone cheese.

I love Philly Cheese Steak! Here is my take on this classic sandwich, served open faced with extra onions, peppers, and provolone cheese. Go big or go home! As Little Nicky Scarfo (boss of the Philadelphia/Atlantic City Mafia Family) once said,

It’s better to live one day as a lion than a thousand as a lamb.

Well said, Little Nicky! Let’s eat!

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil – extra virgin
1 green bell pepper – thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper – thinly sliced
1 medium yellow onion – thinly sliced
⅓ pound ribeye steak – thinly sliced
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper – freshly ground
1 hoagie roll
4 slice provolone cheese – thinly sliced

Instructions

Preheat broiler. Add the hoagie roll, open faced onto a baking sheet lined with foil. Broil until the bread is lightly toasted. Add two slices of provolone to each half of the bread.
Return to the broiler until the cheese is melted.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, seasoned with salt. Cook, stirring often, until onions are caramelized, about 12-15 minutes. Remove from the pan, and set aside.
Add peppers to the skillet, and sauté until soft. Remove from the pan, and set aside.
Add 1 tbsp oil, and cook the steak until it has reached your preferred level of doneness, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Return veggies to the skillet and toss to combine with the steak. Blanket mixture with provolone and cook, covered, until the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes more. Add the mixture on top of the hoagie rolls, and serve open faced with a fork and knife.
