Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Place the ribeye steak in the freezer for 30 minutes until firm for easier slicing.

  2. 2

    Slice the beef as thinly as possible across the grain using a sharp knife. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion and green bell pepper, and sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Remove vegetables and set aside.

  4. 4

    Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the pan. Increase the heat to high, add sliced beef in a single layer, and season with kosher salt and black pepper. Sear for 2–3 minutes, stirring to prevent overcooking.

  5. 5

    Return the vegetables to the skillet with the beef. Toss briefly on medium heat, then divide the mixture into four portions in the pan.

  6. 6

    Top each beef portion with 2 slices of provolone cheese, cover the skillet with a lid, and reduce heat to low to melt the cheese for 1–2 minutes.

  7. 7

    Split the hoagie rolls, lightly toast if desired, then use a spatula to scoop the cheesy beef and veggies into each roll. Serve hot.
