Instructions
Step1: Prepare the Steak

Step2: Sauté the Vegetables

- Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step3: Cook the Steak
- In the same skillet, melt butter and add the thinly sliced ribeye steak.
- Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until browned.
Step4: Add Cheese & Assemble
- Reduce heat to low, place cheese slices over the steak, and allow them to melt.
- Toast hoagie rolls in a dry pan or oven for a crisp texture.
- Fill the rolls with the steak and cheese mixture.
Step5: Serve & Enjoy
- Serve hot with fries, chips, or a side salad.
Notes
- Use ribeye steak – It’s the most flavorful and tender cut.
- Don’t overcook the meat – Cook it quickly over high heat.
- Choose the right cheese – Provolone, Cheez Whiz, or American cheese work best.
- Toast the hoagie rolls for an extra crunch.
