Ingredients
For the steak:
1 pound thinly sliced ribeye or top sirloin steak
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
For the onions:
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the cheese sauce:
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
1/4 cup shredded American cheese
Instructions
Start by heating the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then add it to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the butter and olive oil for the onions. Once the butter is melted, add the thinly sliced onion and season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the onions are soft and caramelized.
While the onions are cooking, prepare the cheese sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour until well combined. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens. Add in the provolone and American cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.
To assemble the sandwich, place the cooked steak on the bottom half of a soft roll. Top with the sautéed onions and pour the hot cheese sauce over the top. Place the top half of the roll on the sandwich and serve immediately.
Tips and Variations
To make the sandwich even more authentic, use a long Italian roll and slice it lengthwise, leaving a hinge on one side.
For a more flavorful steak, marinate the meat in a mixture of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic for 30 minutes before cooking.
If you prefer a spicier sandwich, add some sliced jalapenos or hot sauce to the cheese sauce.
You can also use different types of cheese, such as pepper jack or cheddar, for a unique twist on the classic recipe.
