Ingredients
  

  • 1 ribeye steak (4–5 oz)
  • ¼ tsp salt divided
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper
  • 1 six-inch hoagie roll
  • 1½ tbsp salted butter divided
  • ½ small onion thinly sliced (2.5 oz/74 g)
  • ½ small green bell pepper thinly sliced (2.5 oz/74 g)
  • 1 garlic clove sliced
  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 2 slices provolone cheese

Equipment

  • skillet
  • baking sheet
  • chef’s knife

Directions
 

  1. Put the steak in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes so it firms up. Slice it across the grain into thin strips, about ⅛ inch thick, and season with ⅛ teaspoon of the salt and all of the pepper.
  2. Heat the oven to 350°F. Split the roll without cutting all the way through, spread ½ tablespoon of the butter inside, and toast it on a lined baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Keep it warm.
  3. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and the rest of the salt (⅛ teaspoon) and cook for about 10 minutes, until soft and browned.
  4. Stir in the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Move the vegetables to a plate.
  5. Heat the oil in the same skillet and cook the steak for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Put the vegetables back in the pan.
  6. Lay the provolone over the steak and vegetables, turn the heat to low, and cover for 1 to 2 minutes, until the cheese melts. Pile everything into the toasted roll.
