→ Main Ingredients

01 - 2 pounds top sirloin steak or ribeye, trimmed and sliced very thin
02 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
03 - 8 slices mild provolone cheese
04 - 4 tablespoons butter, softened
05 - 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
06 - 4 hoagie rolls, sliced through
07 - 4 ounces sliced mushrooms
08 - 1 large yellow onion, chopped
09 - 1 green bell pepper, sliced
10 - 1 red bell pepper, sliced
11 - 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
12 - 2 teaspoons coarse Kosher salt, or to taste
13 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

# Instructions:

01 - Place the steak in the freezer for 30 minutes to achieve a firm texture for slicing into thin strips. Trim excess fat, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
02 - Slice onions and set them aside. Use a serrated knife to carefully split hoagie rolls lengthwise about ¾ of the way through. Mix softened butter and minced garlic, then spread the garlic butter on the cut sides of the hoagie rolls. Toast them on a griddle or skillet over medium heat until golden brown. Set aside.
03 - Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Saute onions for 8-10 minutes until slightly caramelized. Transfer them to a bowl and set aside.
04 - Increase the heat to medium-high, add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Once hot, evenly lay the thinly sliced steak in the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes without moving for a nice sear, then flip and cook the other side. Add sauteed onions back to the pan and stir together.
05 - Use a spatula to divide the meat and onions into 4 portions in the pan. Top each portion with 2 slices of provolone cheese, then turn off the heat.
06 - Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the cut sides of the toasted hoagie rolls. Place a roll over a portion of the meat, onions, and cheese. Use a spatula to flip the meat onto the roll, completing the Philly cheesesteak. Serve promptly.

# Notes:

01 - To enhance the flavor, consider adding sliced bell peppers and mushrooms. Saute them with the onions until softened.
