Ingredients
- thinly sliced ribeye steak (or sirloin, top round, or flank steak)
- sharp provolone cheese (or American cheese, mild cheddar, or Cheez Whiz)
- sourdough bread (or Texas toast, thick-cut white bread, or ciabatta)
- large yellow onion
- green bell peppers (or red or orange bell peppers)
- butter
- canola oil (or vegetable oil)
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- garlic powder
- beef broth (or vegetable broth, optional)
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: First, take your beef and if it's not already shaved, pop it into the freezer for about 15-20 minutes. Once slightly firm, slice it as thin as you possibly can. Next, thinly slice your yellow onion and bell peppers. Get your cheese ready by separating the slices. Butter one side of each slice of your chosen bread.
- Sauté the Veggies: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of oil. Add the sliced onions and peppers. Sauté until they're softened and beautifully caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. If they start to dry out, add a tiny splash of beef or vegetable broth. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Beef: Return the same skillet to medium-high heat, adding another tablespoon of oil if needed. Add your thinly sliced beef in a single layer. Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for just 1-2 minutes per side until it's just browned and cooked through.
- Combine the Filling: Once all the beef is cooked, return the cooked onions and peppers to the skillet with the beef. Stir to combine the flavors and reduce the heat to low to keep the filling warm.
- Assemble Your Sandwich: On a clean surface, place one slice of your buttered bread (buttered side down). Lay a slice or two of provolone on top. Spoon a generous amount of your hot beef and veggie mixture over the cheese. Top with another slice or two of cheese, and then place the second slice of buttered bread on top (buttered side up).
- Grill the Sandwich: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Carefully place your assembled sandwich into the hot pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is melted and gooey.
- Serve Immediately: Remove the sandwich from the pan, slice it in half, and serve it hot.

Keywords: For maximum melt, place a slice of cheese directly on the bottom bread slice before adding the filling. Use a sturdy bread to prevent sogginess, and don't be shy with the butter for a golden crust.
