7 ingredients
11 steps
What you need
- 450 g (1 lb) boneless ribeye steak, trimmed of thick fat
- 1 large onion
- 2 tbsp neutral oil, divided

- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 8 slices mild provolone, or white American cheese
- 4 hoagie rolls, about 20 cm (8 in) long
Method
Restated from the original video
- 1
Wrap the ribeye and freeze it for 30-40 min, until firm at the edges but not frozen through.
- 2
Slice the firm meat across the grain as thinly as you can, about 2 mm.
- 3
Dice the onion.
- 4
Split the rolls lengthwise, leaving one long side hinged.
- 5
Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Cook the onion with a pinch of the salt, stirring often, until soft and golden, 8-10 min. Push it to one side or move it to a plate.
- 6
Turn the heat to high and add the remaining oil. Spread the sliced meat in a single layer and leave it alone until browned underneath, 1-2 min.
- 7
Season the meat with the remaining salt and the pepper. Flip and chop it into smaller shreds with the edge of a metal spatula as it finishes cooking, 1-2 min more.
- 8
Mix the onion back into the meat and divide it into four long piles the length of a roll.
- 9
Lay 2 slices of provolone over each pile and turn the heat to low. Wait until the cheese melts into the meat, about 1 min.
- 10
Set an open roll face down over each pile. Slide a spatula under the meat and flip the whole thing over so the filling lands in the roll.
- 11
Serve straight away while the cheese is still soft.
