Ingredients
- 1 pound thinly sliced ribeye steak

- 1 green bell pepper, sliced (optional)
- 4 slices provolone cheese or cheese sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions
1. Prepare the Meat
If the steak isn’t already thinly sliced, place it in the freezer for about 30 minutes, then slice it very thin.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add onions and bell peppers and cook until soft and slightly caramelized. Remove and set aside.
3. Cook the Steak
Add the remaining oil to the skillet.
Cook the thinly sliced steak for 2–3 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Combine
Return the onions and peppers to the pan and mix with the steak.
5. Melt the Cheese
Place cheese slices on top of the hot steak mixture and allow them to melt.
6. Assemble the Sandwich
Toast the hoagie rolls lightly, then fill them with the cheesy steak mixture.
Tips for the Best Cheesesteak
