Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (optional)
- 4 slices provolone or Swiss cheese
- 2 hoagie rolls or ciabatta buns, halved
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise (optional)
- Optional toppings: arugula, roasted red peppers, or sautéed mushrooms
Instructions
- Season steak with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 3–4 minutes per side, or until your desired doneness. Let rest, then slice thinly.
- In the same skillet, add remaining oil and cook onions over medium heat until soft and golden, about 10–12 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar in the last minute for extra flavor.
- Toast the rolls or buns until golden. Optional: spread mayonnaise on the bottom halves.
- Layer sliced steak, caramelized onions, and cheese. Place back in the oven or under a broiler briefly to melt the cheese if desired.
- Add any extra toppings and serve hot.
Notes
- Let steak rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
- Swap cheese for blue cheese or cheddar for a different flavor.
- Great with a side of fries or a crisp green salad.
