1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced (optional)

Lettuce and tomato
Marinara sauce (optional with toasted roll)
Mayo, mustard, or hot sauce
Instructions
Slice Steak: Thinly slice ribeye steak. Season with salt and pepper.
Sauté Onions: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook onions for 5–7 minutes until soft, then set aside.
Cook Steak: Add steak slices to the pan in a single layer. Sear 1–2 minutes per side.
Chop and Combine: Chop steak in the skillet with a spatula. Return onions and any additional toppings to the pan.
Add Cheese: Reduce heat to low. Top steak mixture with cheese and allow to melt.
Assemble Sandwich: Scoop cheesy steak into a hoagie roll and serve immediately.
Notes
For a classic Philly experience, use Amoroso rolls and Cheese Whiz.
Customize with toppings like mushrooms, peppers, or hot sauce.
Steak should be paper-thin for the best texture—freeze for 30 minutes before slicing for easier handling.
